Reviewing appliance network connections
Before installing the StorageGRID appliance, you should understand which networks can be
connected to the appliance.
When you deploy a StorageGRID appliance as a node in a StorageGRID system, you can connect
it to the following networks:
•
Grid Network for StorageGRID: The Grid Network is used for all internal StorageGRID
traffic. It provides connectivity between all nodes in the grid, across all sites and subnets. The
Grid Network is required.
•
Admin Network for StorageGRID: The Admin Network is a closed network used for system
administration and maintenance. The Admin Network is typically a private network and does
not need to be routable between sites. The Admin Network is optional.
•
Client Network for StorageGRID: The Client Network is an open network used to provide
access to client applications, including S3 and Swift. The Client Network provides client
protocol access to the grid, so the Grid Network can be isolated and secured. You can
configure the Client Network so that the appliance can be accessed over this network using
only the ports you choose to open. The Client Network is optional.
•
BMC management network for the services appliance: This network provides access to the
baseboard management controller in the SG100 and SG1000, appliances allowing you to
monitor and manage the hardware components in the appliance. This management network can
be the same as the Admin Network for StorageGRID, or it can be an independent management
network.
Related tasks
You must connect the management port on the appliance to the service laptop and connect the
network ports on the appliance to the Grid Network and optional Client Network for
StorageGRID.
