This
section
describes
using
the
Verde
user
interface
to
configure
the
data
connection
for
the
Verde
master
node.
The
array
includes
two
10GBase
‐
T
ports
and
two
10
GigE
ports
on
the
rear
panel
(see
).
Notes:
By
default,
you
can
only
create
one
data
connection
to
the
array.
You
can
configure
link
aggregation
for
better
performance.
You
can
only
use
the
Verde
management
port
to
access
the
Verde
user
interface.
You
cannot
use
this
port
for
data
transfer.
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.
Use
the
following
steps
to
configure
the
data
connection
for
the
Verde
master
node.
