Configuring the Network
Using the Network page, each physical Ethernet port in the ETERNUS CS800 can be
configured as a separate device. In addition, you can create bonded devices (logical ports)
consisting of two or more physical ports of the same link speed (1GbE or 10GbE). For each
port or device, you can specify the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) frame size, and you
can optionally assign the port or device to a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network).
After you define devices (single port or bonded), you can create up to ten network interfaces
for each device. Each interface has its own IP address information, and you can specify the
types of traffic allowed on the interface (management, replication, or data). Finally, you can
add routing information for an interface to enable connectivity with devices on different
subnets.

You can choose to allow any traffic type (management, replication, or data) on an
interface. In this case, the routing of different traffic types, as well as firewall
capability, must be controlled using the network infrastructure (routers and
switches) that the ETERNUS CS800 is connected to.
