System
Quantum DXi4701 User’s Guide 311
Note: To maintain connectivity, the switch ports connected to the
DXi must be configured to accept the correct VLAN tag ID.
Caution: If VLAN tagging is enabled for an interface, DXi
Advanced Reporting is unable to collect and record
statistics for traffic moving over the VLAN interface (for
example, eth1.400). Statistics are still collected for the
base device (for example, eth1.)
3 In the External Host IP column, select the check box to designate
the interface as an external host IP. This associates the interface IP
address with the host name of the DXi, and the DXi is externally
identified by the host IP. The following restrictions apply:
• You can designate only one external host IP for the network
configuration.
• You must specify a traffic type of Mgmt (management) or Any
for the external host IP interface.
• You must specify a valid Default Gateway in the General
section. In addition, the external host IP must be on the same
subnet as the Default Gateway to ensure external
communication.
4 Enter the following network information as provided by your
network administrator (all fields are required):
• IP Address - The IP address of the interface.
• Netmask - The network mask of the interface.
• Gateway - The gateway of the DXi4701. (This is usually not the
same as the default gateway.)
5 If necessary, specify NAT (Network Address Translation) settings for
the interface:
Note: You must specify a NAT IP address if the DXi4701 is a
replication target and replication is performed across a
public network, with the source and target located behind
NAT-enabled routers.
