NOTE: Overlapping zones are supported. Network configuration Single port configuration is the default mode, but it may easily be changed from the Web Management Interface. The two physical network ports provide four network configuration modes (on the HP D2D4300 Series, each pair of same speed physical network ports provide four network configuration modes). • Single Port Configuration: The HP StoreOnce Backup System is connected to one network only; only one network port is used. • Dual Port Configuration: The HP StoreOnce Backup System is connected to two different networks. Both network ports are used. The networks must be on different sub-nets. • High Availability (Port Failover) Configuration: This creates a bonded network port to provide failover, if one port on the switch or HP StoreOnce Backup System fails or if a network cable fails. To configure this mode both ports must be connected to the same switch (or two multiple switches which are configured as a single stack using an inter-switch link). This bonding mode will work with most switches (that support the tool) with no switch configuration required. In this mode the link will failover if one path is lost, this may still result in the failure of any data transfer (backup/restore) currently in progress, if the link recovery time results in a backup application time-out. • High Availability (Link Aggregation) Configuration: This creates a bonded network port to provide failover and bandwidth aggregation, and it can improve the overall network bandwidth available. To configure this mode both ports much be connected to the same switch, and the switch must support and be configured to use "Link Aggregation Control Protocol" (LACP). NOTE: If you select a bonded network mode, all reporting and status information is shown for the bonded port and not for individual ports. (For example, you will not see a green OK status for both ports.) If using a bonded network mode with the HP D2D4300 Backup System, be aware that the bonded ports must be of the same speed. To configure the LACP configuration For all switches the following commands must be issued to the switch: [manager] config The exact command line may vary from one switch to the other, and also depending on the Vlans configured on each switch. Here are some examples: For HP Procurve switches with no vlans configured: [manager] config trunk trk lacp vlan untagged trk For HP Procurve with a number of vlans configured: [manager] config trunk trk lacp vlan tag trk In this command we tag the new created trunk to our required Vlan. 42 Advanced installation

Network configuration
Single port configuration is the default mode, but it may easily be changed from the Web
Management Interface.
The two physical network ports provide four network configuration modes (on the HP D2D4300
Series, each pair of same speed physical network ports provide four network configuration modes).
•
Single Port Configuration:
The HP StoreOnce Backup System is connected to one network
only; only one network port is used.
•
Dual Port Configuration:
The HP StoreOnce Backup System is connected to two different
networks. Both network ports are used. The networks must be on different sub-nets.
•
High Availability (Port Failover) Configuration:
This creates a bonded network port to provide
failover, if one port on the switch or HP StoreOnce Backup System fails or if a network cable
fails. To configure this mode both ports must be connected to the same switch (or two multiple
switches which are configured as a single stack using an inter-switch link). This bonding mode
will work with most switches (that support the tool) with no switch configuration required. In
this mode the link will failover if one path is lost, this may still result in the failure of any data
transfer (backup/restore) currently in progress, if the link recovery time results in a backup
application time-out.
•
High Availability (Link Aggregation) Configuration:
This creates a bonded network port to
provide failover and bandwidth aggregation, and it can improve the overall network bandwidth
available. To configure this mode both ports much be connected to the same switch, and the
switch must support and be configured to use “Link Aggregation Control Protocol” (LACP).
NOTE:
If you select a bonded network mode, all reporting and status information is shown for
the bonded port and not for individual ports. (For example, you will not see a green OK status for
both ports.) If using a bonded network mode with the HP D2D4300 Backup System, be aware
that the bonded ports must be of the same speed.
To configure the LACP configuration
For all switches the following commands must be issued to the switch:
[manager]
<password>
config
<Create a trunk in LACP mode >
<Tag the new trunk to a specific Vlan >
The exact command line may vary from one switch to the other, and also depending on the Vlans
configured on each switch. Here are some examples:
For HP Procurve switches with no vlans configured:
[manager]
<password>
config
trunk <ports,> trk<n> lacp
vlan <vlan id> untagged trk<n>
For HP Procurve with a number of vlans configured:
[manager]
<password>
config
trunk <ports,> trk<n> lacp
vlan <vlan id> tag trk<n>
In this command we tag the new created trunk to our required Vlan.
