Ethernet cabling for a management station - E-Series
You can connect your storage system to an Ethernet network for out-of-band storage array management. You must use Ethernet cables for all storage array management connections.

Some storage systems have only one out-of-band Ethernet management port on each controller. For cabling instructions specific to your storage system, see Quick start for E-Series and click the link for your specific storage system. |
Direct topology
A direct topology connects your controller directly to an Ethernet network.
You must connect management port 1 on each controller for out-of-band management and leave port 2 available for access to the storage array by technical support.
Fabric topology
A fabric topology uses a switch to connect your controller to an Ethernet network.
You must connect management port 1 on each controller for out-of-band management and leave port 2 available for access to the storage array by technical support.
