1Gbeand10Gbedata Path - Vess R2000 Serie Guia De Inicio Rapido

Important
For NAS setup, or configurations that use port trunking, cabling layout is very
important and should be carefully planned before making any connections to the
physical ports.
1GbE and 10GbE Data Path
Important
The quality of cabling used for 10 GbE data connections is very important for
performance. 10 GbE connections must use Cat 6 or better cabling for the entire
data path. 1 GbE connections must use Cat 5e or better for the entire data path.
1GbE connections:
Each Vess R2600 controller has four (4) RJ-45 data port connectors. Use at least Cat 5e or better
cabling. For a storage network (NAS or SAN), connect the data ports as follows:
1. Connect Ethernet cables between the HBA NIC or NIC in both hostPCs or servers and the
GbE network switch.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable between at least one GbE data port on the left RAIDcontroller
and the GbE network switch.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable between at least one GbE data port on the right RAIDcontroller
and the GbE network switch.
If you have multiple Vess R2600 subsystems, host PCs or servers, repeatsteps 1 through 3
as required.
Notice: GbE data ports on both RAID controller should be connected symmetrically so that NAS
failover can work properly.
