Figure 13: An example of network connections for two dedicated networks
1 Host/server
2 Network Interface Cards (NICs)
3 Ethernet switch 1
4 Ethernet switch 2
5 Array
6 Data port eth2b on controller A
7 Management port eth0a on controller A
Advanced Configuration
In this configuration:
Management and data paths are on different subnets or networks
Port eth0 handles management traffic
Ports eth1 through eth3 handle data traffic
The following example shows one possible way to connect the cabling for an advanced configuration. The data and management
paths are shown separately. Note that the subnet addresses in the data path illustration are just examples. Your settings will
differ. The advanced configuration uses the maximum number of data connections on the iSCSI network to obtain the best
availability and throughput.
In more advanced configurations, you can define your own network configuration to handle the desired I/O flow.

10 Data port connections
11 Management port connections
