PowerStore uses VLAN 0 as a marker for untagged traffic. When you set the VLAN ID to zero, the network traffic is not tagged (based on the 802.1q standard), and the network takes on the native VLAN. The traffic on that network is passed as untagged in PowerStore, and the Native VLAN is applied to the untagged traffic through the switch. IP address requirements for initial configuration You will need IP addresses to configure the management, and storage networks in PowerStore T model. Management and storage network IP address requirements You will need IP addresses to configure the management and storage networks in PowerStore T model through the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW). The ICW runs automatically the first time you discover PowerStore T model. You will need to reserve a total of: ● 5 IP addresses per appliance ● 2 IP addresses per cluster The following table details the IP address assignments. Table 8.

If you want to use the native VLAN for any of your PowerStore networks, you must enter VLAN ID 0 (zero) for any untagged
traffic in the PowerStore
Initial Configuration Wizard
. PowerStore uses VLAN 0 as a marker for untagged traffic. When you
set the VLAN ID to zero, the network traffic is not tagged (based on the 802.1q standard), and the network takes on the native
VLAN. The traffic on that network is passed as untagged in PowerStore, and the Native VLAN is applied to the untagged traffic
through the switch.
IP address requirements for initial configuration
You will need IP addresses to configure the management, and storage networks in PowerStore T model.
Management and storage network IP address requirements
You will need IP addresses to configure the management and storage networks in PowerStore T model through the
Initial
Configuration Wizard (ICW)
. The ICW runs automatically the first time you discover PowerStore T model.
You will need to reserve a total of:
●
5 IP addresses per appliance
●
2 IP addresses per cluster
The following table details the IP address assignments.
