Configuring a switch through the K2 Configuration application
Storage Systems. This is the most reliable configuration, does not use up your 1
Gig ports, and provides sufficient bandwidth for any FTP traffic load. You also
have the option of using 1 Gig ISLs.
Connect and configure ISLs only as specified in the following table, taking your
FTP bandwidth into consideration:
NOTE: One Gig ISLs must be an odd number as specified (3 or 5).
• Port count — The number of client connections, server connections, FTP/
streaming connections, and other connections determine how many ports are
required. As the port count increases, you must use switches with more ports and/
or multiple switches. When multiple switches are used, the port count assigned to
each VLAN and the ports used for ISLs must be considered.
Based on these factors, determine the number of switches, the number of ports on each
switch, and the ISLs required for your system needs. You can find procedures for
configuring the HP ProCurve switch in the chapters earlier in this manual for
installing each level. Adapt the procedures according to your switch design as you
configure your switches.
Configuring a switch through the K2 Configuration application
In the K2 Configuration Application, features for working on a Ethernet switch are as
