Initial Configuration
Quantum DXi4700 Installation Guide

Steps 7-12 below provide an example of configuring network settings on the DXi4700. In this
example, the DXi4700 is configured as follows:
l
All Ethernet ports are configured as individual devices (Not Bonded).
l
A single network interface with one IP address is configured for
eth1
.
l
All traffic types (management, data, and replication) travel over the single network interface.
l
All other settings are at default values.
The actual network settings you will enter depend on the configuration of your company’s network
and may differ from those below. Work with your network administrator to determine the correct
settings for integrating the DXi4700 into your company’s network.
If you set up the DXi4700 using the example below, you can always change the network settings as
needed at a later time. For more information, see the “Network” section in the Quantum DXi4700
User’s Guide.
Caution:
For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is required. (A
network switch is not supplied with the DXi4700.) The DXi4700 bonding settings must match the
switch settings. If the switch settings and the DXi4700 settings do not match, your system may
become inaccessible through the switch.
Note:
The figure below is for illustrative purpose only. The
Network
page will reflect the actual
number of physical ports in the system.
