4 Network Cable Connections
Before you connect each appliance to the network hardware, you must set up the required network infrastructure
and connect each appliance to the networks used in the NAS cluster.
Network Configuration Overview
The Dell EqualLogic FS7600 requires the following networks:
• Client network—Used for client access to the NFS exports and CIFS shares hosted by the NAS cluster.
The recommended configuration is four client network connections to each controller.
• SAN/internal network—Used for internal communication between the controllers and for communication
between the controllers and the EqualLogic PS Series SAN.
The recommended configuration is four SAN/internal network connections to each NAS controller.
For security reasons, the internal network is usually a private network. The client, SAN, and internal networks
must be separate subnets.
An FS7600 NAS appliance has four, 4-port NICs, for a total of 16 network connections plus two ports for remote
KVM use.
