Removing Ports from a LAG, 6 Working with VLANs

Page 108 highlights

6.5.3 Removing Ports from a LAG If you no longer need ports in a LAG, you can remove the ports from the LAG. 1. In the Network Settings View of the Main Display, click an Ethernet port that belongs to a LAG. 2. Perform one of the following steps to remove the port from the group: - On the Network menu, click Remove Port from Group. - In the Network Actions panel, click Remove Port from Group. - Press the right mouse button and click Remove Port from Group from the shortcut menu. 3. Record your settings in Table C-3. 6.6 Working with VLANs iSCSI performance can be improved through careful logical and physical separation. For example, iSCSI SAN traffic should never be mixed with ordinary Ethernet user traffic. This not only impairs SAN performance, but also creates a potential security risk since storage data is accessible on the user LAN. Instead, iSCSI SAN traffic should be isolated from the everyday user traffic. The most common method of separation is creating a virtual LAN (VLAN). A VLAN limits iSCSI traffic to the virtual LAN and keeps out regular traffic. Using the xStack Storage Management Center, you can VLAN-enable ports and LAGs. To differentiate between ports and LAGs that are and are not VLAN-enabled, the port or LAG icon to the left of the Detail Tabs displays a V when a VLAN-enabled port or LAG is clicked in the Main Display (see Figure 6-11). 98 Chapter 6 Managing Management and Ethernet Ports and Portals

6.6 Working with VLANs
iSCSI performance can be improved through careful logical and physical separation. For
example, iSCSI SAN traffic should never be mixed with ordinary Ethernet user traffic. This
not only impairs SAN performance, but also creates a potential security risk since storage
data is accessible on the user LAN. Instead, iSCSI SAN traffic should be isolated from the
everyday user traffic. The most common method of separation is creating a virtual LAN
(VLAN). A VLAN limits iSCSI traffic to the virtual LAN and keeps out regular traffic.
Using the xStack Storage Management Center, you can VLAN-enable ports and LAGs. To
differentiate between ports and LAGs that are and are not VLAN-enabled, the port or LAG
icon to the left of the Detail Tabs displays a V when a VLAN-enabled port or LAG is clicked in
the Main Display (see Figure 6-11).
