DXi Advanced Reporting

Quantum DXi Advanced Reporting works with all DXi-Series disk backup systems. DXi Advanced
Reporting combines comprehensive performance data logging with powerful visual reporting and analysis
tools to help you identify potential problems and optimize system operation. For more information, refer to
the DXi Advanced Reporting User's Guide (6-67353).

Network Configuration

During network configuration, each individual interface on the DXi6900 can be configured as a subnet with
its own network settings. Each physical Ethernet port can be configured as an interface. In addition, you can
also create bonded interfaces (logical ports) consisting of two or more physical ports.
Keep in mind that any traffic can pass through any of the configured Ethernet ports. This means that the
routing of different traffic types, as well as firewall capability, must be controlled using the network
infrastructure (routers and switches) connected to the DXi6900.
For more information about configuration network settings, see
Note: Each configured network interface requires its own set of network settings (IP address, network
mask, and gateway).
Caution: For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is required. (A
network switch is not supplied with the DXi6900.) The DXi6900 bonding settings must match the switch
settings. If the switch settings and the DXi6900 settings do not match, your system may become
inaccessible through the switch.
