Configuring the Network
Using the Network page, each physical Ethernet port in the DXi 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.
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. In addition, you can configure the following
options for each interface:
• Assign the interface to a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network).
• Indicate whether the interface IP address will be used to externally
identify the system (external host IP address).
• Specify the types of traffic allowed on the interface (management,
replication, or data).
• Specify the NAT address that the interface is mapped to if it is used
for replication through a NAT firewall.
• Add routing information for an interface to enable connectivity with
devices on different subnets.
