Managing Management and Ethernet Ports and Portals
6.1 Understanding the Network Settings View
In the Network Settings View, the Main Display shows the IP address and connection status of
the xStack Storage management port, Ethernet ports, and Link Aggregate Groups (LAGs).
If you click a management port in the Main Display, the
Management Port
tab lets you
view or change the network settings for the selected port and the
Network Actions
panel allows you to ping from that management port.
If you click an Ethernet (iSCSI) port in the Main Display, the
Port
tab shows the settings
for the selected port and lets you change the MTU size. The
Network Actions
panel
allows you to create a portal on the selected port, replace the port with a VLAN-enabled
port, and group ports.
If you click a LAG, the
Link Aggregation Group (LAG)
tab shows information about the
LAG and lets you change the LAG’s MTU setting.
If you click an IP address below an Ethernet port in the Main Display, the
Portal
tab
shows the status of the selected portal. The
Network Actions
panel allows you to ping
from or delete the portal.
