NAS b2000 v2 Quick Start Guide

Deploying the NAS b2000 v2 on the Network

The default shipping configuration contains two 10/100/1000 integrated network

interface controller (NIC) ports for client data access. These data ports also allow

access to the Web user interface (WebUI) that accompanies the product. It is from

the WebUI that most management and administrative procedures can be

accomplished. The embedded Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) provides an additional

management port for remote console and diagnostics. HP recommends that this

connection be placed on a management LAN separate from the corporate

infrastructure if it is present.

The NAS b2000 v2 supports the use of NIC teaming. NIC teaming provides

failover and load balancing of network ports of the NAS b2000 v2. NIC teaming

requires the network cables to be installed on the same subnet to enable it to work.

However, HP does not recommend the assignment of IP addresses to the ports that

will be teamed or load-balanced prior to the installation and setup of NIC teaming.

For this reason, HP recommends that you set all network ports to DHCP. For

information concerning the configuration of NIC teaming after setup is complete,

see the administration guide.
