Installation
DXi6700, DXi6701, and DXi6702 Site Planning Guide
3
Connect both DXi 1 Gb Ethernet ports (ETH0 and ETH1) to your switch and
configure IP information appropriately on the
Network
page.
4
Contact your network administrator to create a
Round Robin
compatible Link
Aggregation Group on the switch encompassing the ports connected to ETH0 and
ETH1.
DXi6702 (2 x 1 GbE Ports and 2 x 10 GbE Ports) - 10 GbE Connectivity Is Available
For simplicity, use of both 10 GbE ports simultaneously is discouraged. Configuration
recommendations for the use of bonded 10 GbE ports are unique to the type of 10 Gb
switch used. Contact Quantum Customer Support for specific guidance if you require
dual-10 GbE connectivity.
Advanced Network Recommendations
Advanced configurations include segmentation for separation of data, management,
and replication traffic, but otherwise conform to the
General Recommendations
on
page 6. Switch configuration changes may be required. Note that segmentation is
discrete. For example, if an option indicates
ETH0 (Replication), BOND ALL-1
(Management/Data)
, replication traffic will exclusively traverse port ETH0, and
Management and Data traffic will exclusively traverse ETH1.
DXi6700 (2 x 1 GbE Ports) and DXi6701 (6 x 1 GbE Ports)
For advanced network configuration, follow these steps:
1
For
Segmentation
, select the appropriate configuration option to isolate traffic as
necessary.
2
For
Bonding
, select
Round Robin (Mode 0)
.
3
Connect the required Ethernet ports (ETH0–ETH1 for DXi6700, or ETH0–ETH5 for
DXi6701) to your switch. Configure IP information appropriately on the
Network
page.
4
If a
Bonded
configuration was selected under
Segmentation
, contact your network
administrator to create a Round Robin compatible Link Aggregation Group on the
switch encompassing the bonded ports.
DXi6702 (2 x 1 GbE Ports and 2 x 10 GbE Ports) - 10 GbE Connectivity Not Available
For advanced network configuration, follow these steps:
1
For
Segmentation
, select
BOND ALL 1 Gb (Replication/Management/Data
).
