Performing Initial Configuration
DXi6902 Installation and Configuration Guide
Caution:
For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network
switch is required. (A network switch is not supplied with the
DXi6902.) The DXi6902 bonding settings must match the switch
settings. If the switch settings and the DXi6902 settings do not match,
your system may become inaccessible through the switch.
Note:
The figure below is for illustrative purpose only. The
Network
page will
reflect the actual number of physical ports in the system.
IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE CONTINUING
Steps 5–9 below provide an example of configuring network settings on the
DXi6902. In this example, the DXi6902 is configured as follows:
• All Ethernet ports are configured as individual devices (
Not Bonded
).
• A single network interface with one IP address is configured for
eth1
.
• All traffic types (management, data, and replication) travel over the single
network interface.
• All other settings are at default values.
The actual network settings you will enter depend on the configuration of your
company’s network and may differ from those below. Work with your network
administrator to determine the correct settings for integrating the DXi6902 into
your company’s network.
If you set up the DXi6902 using the example below, you can always change the
network settings as needed at a later time. For more information, see the
“Network” section in the
Quantum DXi6902 User’s Guide
(6-68159).
