Function
1
Management port 1 on
the E2700 controller
1-Gb (RJ-45) Ethernet
Connects the E2700 controller to the
network where SANtricity Storage
Manager is installed.
2
Management port 2 on
the E2700 controller
1-Gb (RJ-45) Ethernet
Connects the E2700 controller to a
service laptop during installation.
3
Two SAS interconnect
ports on each
controller, labelled Ch
1 and Ch 2
E2700 controller:
mini-SAS-HD
E5600SG controller:
mini-SAS
Connect the two controllers to each
other.
4
Management port 1 on
the E5600SG
controller
1-Gb (RJ-45) Ethernet
Connects the E5600SG controller to the
Admin network for StorageGRID
Webscale.
5
Management port 2 on
the E5600SG
controller
1-Gb (RJ-45) Ethernet
Connects the E5600SG controller to a
service laptop during installation.
6
Four network ports on
the E5600SG
controller
10-GbE (optical)
Connect the E5600SG controller to the
Grid network and to the Client network
(if used) for StorageGRID Webscale.
The ports can be bonded together to
provide redundant paths to the
controller.
Connections for the 10-GbE ports on the E5600SG controller
The four network ports on the E5600SG controller are bonded together to provide redundant paths to
the controller, as follows:
•
Fixed Port Configuration (default) – Ports 2 and 4 control the Grid network, and ports 1 and 3
control the Client network, if enabled. The ports can be bonded in active-backup mode or in Link
Aggregation Control Protocol mode (LACP IEEE 802.3ad).
◦
In active-backup mode (default), only one port is active at a time. If the active port fails, its
backup port automatically provides a failover connection. When you use fixed port
configuration, port 4 provides a backup path for port 2 (Grid network), and port 3 provides a
backup path for port 1 (Client network).
