Task 5: Plan Ethernet Access The HP EFC Server and one or more directors are configured on a dedicated Ethernet LAN segment. No Ethernet access planning is required for a stand-alone rack. However, this task is required to: • Connect equipment racks Ethernet hubs in multiple equipment racks can be connected to provide HP EFC Server access to up to 48 directors or managed products (up to 16 interconnected directors are supported in a single fabric). Racks can be placed at any distance up to the limit of the 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) LAN segment. • Consolidate HP EFC Server operation If HP EFC Server operation is to be consolidated to one primary server and one or more backup servers, plan for Ethernet cabling to interconnect equipment racks and ensure all directors and server platforms have unique IP addresses. • Install equipment racks on a public LAN If a public LAN segment is to be used, determine from the customer's network administrator how to integrate the directors and HP EFC Server. Ensure all access, security, and IP addressing issues are resolved. Note It is recommended that directors and the HP EFC Server be installed on a dedicated Ethernet hub and LAN segment to avoid security and traffic problems associated with a public LAN. • Install remote user workstations Plan for access to the LAN segment containing the HP EFC Server if remote user workstations are required. 92 Task 5: Plan Ethernet Access
