link speed (1GbE or 10GbE). For each port or device, you can specify the MTU (Maximum Transmission
Unit) frame size.
After you define devices (single port or bonded), you can create up to ten network interfaces for each device.
Each interface has its own IP address information. In addition, you can configure the following options for
each interface:
Assign the interface to a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network).
l
Indicate whether the interface IP address will be used to externally identify the system (external host IP
l
address).
Specify the types of traffic allowed on the interface (management, replication, or data).
l
Specify the NAT address that the interface is mapped to if it is used for replication through a NAT firewall.
l
Add routing information for an interface to enable connectivity with devices on different subnets.
l
Note: You can choose to allow any traffic type (management, replication, or data) on an interface. In
this case, the routing of different traffic types, as well as firewall capability, must be controlled using the
network infrastructure (routers and switches) that the DXi is connected to.
Configuring the network includes the following major steps:
Note: Before configuring the network, work with your network administrator to determine the network
settings that will be required to properly integrate the DXi4700 with your company's network.
