As you install and configure the StorageGRID appliance, you must make decisions and gather information about Ethernet switch ports, IP addresses, and port and network bond modes.
Information needed | Your value |
---|---|
Ethernet switch port you will connect to management port 1 | |
MAC address for management port 1 (printed on a label near port P1) | |
DHCP-assigned IP address for management port 1, if available after power on Note: If the network you will connect to the E2800 controller includes a DHCP server, the network administrator can use the MAC address to determine the IP address that was assigned by the DHCP server.
|
|
Speed and duplex mode Note: You must make sure the Ethernet switch for the SANtricity System Manager management network is set to autonegotiate.
|
Must be:
|
IP address format | Choose one:
|
Static IP address you plan to use for the appliance on the management network | For IPv4:
|
Information needed | Your value |
---|---|
Admin Network enabled | Choose one:
|
Network bond mode | Choose one:
|
Switch port for port 1 | |
Switch port for port 2 (Active-Backup network bond mode only) | |
DHCP-assigned IP address for management port 1, if available after power on Note: If the Admin Network includes a DHCP server, the E5700SG controller displays the DHCP-assigned IP address on its seven-segment display after it boots up. You can also determine the DHCP-assigned IP address by using the MAC address to look up the assigned IP.
|
|
Static IP address you plan to use for the appliance Storage Node on the Admin Network Note: If your network does not have a gateway, specify the same static IPv4 address for the gateway.
|
|
Admin Network subnets (CIDR) |
Information needed | Your value |
---|---|
Link speed Note: If you select 25 GbE, you must install SPF28 transceivers. Auto-negotiation is not supported, so you must also configure the ports and the connected switches for 25GbE.
|
Choose one:
|
Port bond mode |
Choose one:
|
Switch port for port 1 (Client Network) |
|
Switch port for port 2 (Grid Network) |
|
Switch port for port 3 (Client Network) |
|
Switch port for port 4 (Grid Network) |
Information needed | Your value |
---|---|
Network bond mode | Choose one:
|
VLAN tagging enabled | Choose one:
|
VLAN tag (if VLAN tagging is enabled) |
Enter a value between 0 and 4095: |
DHCP-assigned IP address for the Grid Network, if available after power on Note: If the Grid Network includes a DHCP server, the E5700SG controller displays the DHCP-assigned IP address for the Grid Network on its seven-segment display after it boots up.
|
|
Static IP address you plan to use for the appliance Storage Node on the Grid Network Note: If your network does not have a gateway, specify the same static IPv4 address for the gateway.
|
|
Grid Network subnets (CIDR) Note: If the Client Network is not enabled, the default route on the controller will use the gateway specified here.
|

DHCP-assigned IP address for the Client Network, if available after power on |
|
Static IP address you plan to use for the appliance Storage Node on the Client Network Note: If the Client Network is enabled, the default route on the controller will use the gateway specified here.
