The
HotPair
configuration
Verde
array
has
both
public
and
private
network
connections.
The
public
connections
are
the
primary
methods
for
accessing
the
HotPair
array.
These
connections
automatically
redirect
traffic
flow
to
the
active
node,
without
user
intervention.
With
public
connections,
the
IP
addresses
used
to
connect
to
the
array
remain
the
same
even
after
a
HotPair
failover.
The
private
connections
are
for
accessing
either
the
primary
or
secondary
master
node
individually.
Private
management
port
connections
allow
you
to
see
the
status
of
each
individual
master
node.
Private
data
connections
are
not
used
for
data
transfer,
but
are
configured
as
an
IP
address
target
for
the
public
data
connection.
All
network
connections
in
a
HotPair
configuration
must
be
static
.
Configure
your
network
connections
as
described
in
the
following
sections.
Configure the Primary Master Node - Private Verde
Management Port
The
first
network
connection
you
must
configure
is
the
private
Verde
management
port
on
the
primary
master
node.
This
connection
is
configured
using
the
Verde
console
interface.
Once
this
connection
is
configured,
configure
all
remaining
connections
via
the
Verde
user
interface.
The
default
address
of
the
Verde
management
port
is
set
to
10.0.0.2
with
a
netmask
of
255.255.255.0
.
If
your
network
is
already
using
this
IP
address,
or
you
want
to
configure
a
different
IP
address
for
the
management
port,
use
the
Verde
master
node
console
to
configure
the
private
Verde
management
port
IP
address.
If
you
do
not
want
to
change
the
default
private
management
port
IP
address,
