The system also contains an iDRAC port and a dedicated service port. By
default, each StorNext G300 ships with bonded network interface:
Bond 0. All network ports, excluding the service and iDRAC ports, are
customer-configurable.
The default G300 network interface configuration is as follows:
• For the StorNext G301, the MDC network is always a bonded (Bond
0) network.
• For the StorNext G301, ports on LAN client network must be either
ALL bonded together (Bond 1) or ALL configured with individual
network interfaces, and NOT a combination of both. Physical ports 3
and 4 are dedicated to the MDC network. Ports 5 through 10 are
dedicated to the LAN client network. When bonded, the LAN client
network includes the on-board embedded Ethernet port 2 for a
total of 7 network ports.
• In addition to providing LAN access, the G300 is NAS-ready for SMB
or NFS access to different levels of tiered storage from StorNext
