NAS b2000 v2 Quick Start Guide
Deploying the NAS b2000 v2 on the Network
The default shipping configuration contains two 10/100/1000 integrated network
interface controller (NIC) ports for client data access. These data ports also allow
access to the Web user interface (WebUI) that accompanies the product. It is from
the WebUI that most management and administrative procedures can be
accomplished. The embedded Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) provides an additional
management port for remote console and diagnostics. HP recommends that this
connection be placed on a management LAN separate from the corporate
infrastructure if it is present.
The NAS b2000 v2 supports the use of NIC teaming. NIC teaming provides
failover and load balancing of network ports of the NAS b2000 v2. NIC teaming
requires the network cables to be installed on the same subnet to enable it to work.
However, HP does not recommend the assignment of 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 the administration guide.
