1.
Connect network lines for the first subnet to Ethernet port 1 on
each storage processor (SP A and SP B).
IMPORTANT:
You may want to place your management PC on this
LAN.
2.
Connect the file server to up to four additional subnets
(model-dependent). Make additional connections in pairs by
connecting each subnet to matching ports on both SP A and SP B.
See Figure 2-6 for 10/100 Mbps subnet connections. See
Figure 2-8 for an illustration of the gigabit LAN connector.
