NAS Server Single Device Deployment
In a single device deployment, network connections are divided into two categories: client data
segments and management segments. The default shipping configuration contains a two-port
network interface controller (NIC) 10/100/100 that provides one port for management and one
port for client data. The management port is intended for use with the 3202 port of the device
to enable use of the WebUI that accompanies the product. It is from this WebUI that most
management and administrative procedures can be accomplished. An additional management
port for remote console and diagnostics is provided off the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) port.
HP recommends that this connection be placed on a management LAN separate from the
corporate infrastructure.
The NAS server supports the use of NIC teaming. NIC teaming provides failover and load
balancing of network ports of the NAS server. NIC teaming requires the network cables to be
installed on the same subnet to enable it to work. For example in
Figure 3 , Eth1 and Eth2
would need to be on the same subnet to enable this functionality on those ports. However, it is
not recommended to assign IP addresses to the ports that will be teamed or load balanced prior
to the installation and setup of NIC teaming. For this reason, HP recommends that you set all
network ports to DHCP. For information concerning the configuration of NIC teaming after
setup is complete, see Chapter 2.
