Duplex LAN Configuration

The operable network configuration is described here.
3.1

Functional Overview

Duplicating a LAN is achieved by binding multiple adapters to the same virtual switch (NIC teaming). If an
uplink adapter fails, it switches to another adapter to continue the operation.
3.2

Operable Network Configuration

For NEC Express5800/ft series, network interface names are based on the naming convention as described
in the table below. Network duplication is achieved by pairing network interfaces of PCI slots in CPU/IO
module 0 and network interfaces in the same PCI slots in CPU/IO module 1 (i.e. Two network interfaces are
bound to a switch).
In normal installation, the standard switch (vSwitch0) is set to vmnic100600 and vmnic110600 of Port #1 on
On Board (1 Gigabit), and network duplication is achieved.
You can configure the setting of and check the network interfaces from Vsphere client.
For more specific setting method, see VMware Vsphere document "ESXI Configuration Guide".
The network is disconnected for up to about one minute when network failure occurs.
It is necessary to be used after carefully examining the setting of application and client.
