Connecting Management Network Ports to the Network
Connect the management network ports on a controller enclosure to the network port on a maintenance terminal through a LAN to manage and maintain the storage system.
The management network port, maintenance network port, and serial port of the smart disk enclosure are reserved and do not need cable connection.
Prerequisites
The following installation tools and materials are ready:
- Network cable
- Cable tie
- Diagonal pliers
Context
- Each controller has a management network port and a maintenance network port. In normal cases, the management network port is used to configure and manage a storage device. The maintenance network port is designed for special maintenance in emergency.
- The default IP addresses of management network ports on controllers A and B are 192.168.128.101 and 192.168.128.102, respectively. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
- The default IP address of the maintenance network port is 172.31.128.101 or 172.31.128.102, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
- The management network ports and the maintenance terminal reside on the same network segment, or reside on different network segments but are connected by routes. This ensures that the management network ports and the maintenance terminal can correctly communicate with each other.
Procedure
- Wear an ESD wrist strap, ESD gloves, and ESD clothes.
- Prepare network cables used to connect the management network ports on the controller enclosure to the maintenance terminal, and attach labels to the network cables. For details on how to prepare labels, see Engineering Label Specifications for Cables.
- Locate the network cables that are used to connect the management network ports on the controller enclosure. See Figure 6-13.
- Do not connect the management network port and maintenance network port to the same LAN or switch to prevent network loops.
- If multiple controller enclosures are deployed, you only need to connect the management network ports of controller enclosure 0 to the management network. For details, see Connection Between Controller Enclosures.
- Connect the network cables to the management network ports, as shown in Figure 6-14 and Figure 6-15.
Figure 6-15 Connecting network cables to management network ports (applicable to Dorado 5000/6000 V6)
Ensure that the management network ports on both management modules are connected to the LAN.
- Route and bind the network cables.
For details about how to route and bind cables, see General Cable Routing Description and Cable Routing and Bundling Basics.
