Network management connection

Each VTrak D5000 Series controller has two 1000BASE-T Ethernet ports. Port MGMT 1 (left most 1000BASE-T
port) is used for system management.
To establish the management path network connection:
1. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the network connector or standard NIC in the Host PC, attach the
other end of the Ethernet cable to a port on a standard network switch.
2. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the same network switch and attach the other end to the MGMT 1
port on controller 1.
3. If the subsystem is dual controller, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the same network switch and
attach the other end to the MGMT 1 on controller 2.
Note
The RJ-45 network management ports on a VTrak D5000 Series subsystem share
the same Virtual IP address. The default Virtual IP address, 10.0.0.1, applies to
the left most RJ-45 network port (MGMT 1) on both controllers. If you change
the Virtual IP address, the change applies to both network management ports.
