DLm8500 with Data Domain

DLm8500 has at least one management VTE (the first VTE). If a second VTE is
configured it will be the second management VTE. Each Management VTE has two 1
GbE ports (for redundancy) which should be connected to your organization network.
It is recommended that one port from each Management VTE is connected to one
network switch and the other two ports are connected to another network switch.
This ensures that failure of one switch does not affect Management VTE connectivity.
The cables to connect these ports to your network are not supplied with DLm.
Therefore, you should provide four network cables to connect the Management VTE
to your network.
The following table lists the external customer network requirements for DLm8500.

Replication connections
As needed, the customer provides network cables for Data Domain replication
connections. The number of cables required depends partly on the number of installed
Data Domain systems. Each Data Domain system can have 2 to 4 copper (CAT-5 or
CAT-6) ports for replication.
The following table lists the replication cable requirements for DLm8500.
