This topic describes the port assignments that you specify for
the master console.
Complete the port assignment table for the master console. Use
these port assignments to determine the number of Ethernet and Fibre Channel
cables that you will need.
When filling out the port assignment table,
use the following descriptions.
- Ethernet port 1 – Used for your VPN connection. This port is required
if you configure your master console to enable remote access. A remote access
connection can only be enabled when this port has access to an external Internet
connection. For added security you can disconnect this port when a remote
access connection is not being used.
- Ethernet port 2 - Used to connect to the same IP network to which the
SAN Volume Controllers or SAN File System metadata server engines are connected.
- Fibre Channel Port 1 – Used to connect to a fibre channel switch in one
SAN Volume Controller or SAN File System fabric.
