Use the Network screen to configure Ethernet ports and DNS settings, and
to enter SMTP and NTP information.
Note:
If your array is a HotPair configuration, see Appendix B HotPair
Setup and Configuration on page 177 for instructions on
configuring network connections.
Configure Ethernet Ports
This section describes using the Verde user interface to configure the IP
addressing for the Ethernet ports in the Verde master node. The array
includes two 10GBase ‐ T ports and two 10 GigE ports on the rear panel (see
Figure 5 on page 26 ). Optionally, a two ‐ port 40 GigE card can be installed.
Notes:

You can only use the Verde management port to access the
Verde user interface. You cannot use this port for data
transfer.

By default, you can only create one data connection to the
array. You can configure link aggregation for better
performance.

If your array contains a 10 GigE network interface card, or
40 GigE network interface card, the 10GBase ‐ T ports cannot
be used for data transfer.

Optionally, a 40 GigE card can be installed in 4U master
nodes. The configuration steps are the same for both the 10
GigE and 40 GigE cards.

While both a 10 GigE and 40 GigE card can be installed in the
same Verde array, only one card can be used for data transfer,
as the array only allows a single data connection.
