Reviewing appliance network connections

Before installing the StorageGRID Webscale appliance, you should understand which networks can
be connected to the appliance.
When you deploy a StorageGRID Webscale appliance as a Storage Node in a StorageGRID
Webscale grid, you can connect it to the following networks:
• Grid Network for StorageGRID Webscale: The Grid Network is used for all internal
StorageGRID Webscale traffic. It provides connectivity between all nodes in the grid, across all
sites and subnets. The Grid Network is required.
• Admin Network for StorageGRID Webscale: The Admin Network is a closed network used for
system administration and maintenance. The Admin Network is typically a private network and
does not need to be routable between sites. The Admin Network is optional.
• Client Network for StorageGRID Webscale: The Client Network is an open network used to
provide access to client applications, including S3 and Swift. The Client Network provides client
protocol access to the grid, so the Grid Network can be isolated and secured. The Client Network
is optional.
• Management network for SANtricity System Manager: This network provides access to
SANtricity System Manager on the E2800 controller, allowing you to monitor and manage the
hardware components in the E2860 controller shelf. This management network can be the same
as the Admin Network for StorageGRID Webscale, or it can be an independent management
network.
• BMC management network for the SG6000-CN controller: This network provides access to
the baseboard management controller in the SG6000-CN, allowing you to monitor and manage
the hardware components in the SG6000-CN controller. This management network can be the
same as the Admin Network for StorageGRID Webscale, or it can be an independent management
network.
Note: For detailed information about StorageGRID Webscale networks, see the installation
instructions for your platform.
