User Manual - Rev. A
External data
networks must be set as
private networks
. For
example in an IP TV configuration in which blades generate
multicast, this prevents the multicast from affecting the blades.
Otherwise, if an
external data
network is not set as a
private
network
, as long as no client has sent an IGMP request to
receive the stream, the network is flooded by the Flex10 on all
interfaces.
Flex10
External Connector Description
FLEX10
X1 to X6
, used with SFP couplers, can be Gbps copper/optical interfaces
or 10 Gbps optical interfaces.
X1
can also be used as a link between
several blades. It is not recommended for Electra VS needs to use the
specific stacking cable (see section
’Heterogeneous System
Configuration’
on page 579).
FLEX10-D
X1 to X10
, used with SFP couplers, can be Gbps copper/optical
interfaces or 10 Gbps optical interfaces.
X1
can also be used as a link
between several blades (see section
’Heterogeneous System
Configuration’
on page 579).
Grouping Possibilities
It is possible to group:
several LANs on one unique external connector. To do so, you must
create a Shared uplink set using VLAN tagging.
several external connectors on one unique LAN (trunk): this lets you
increase the bandwidth.
For more information on these aspects, refer to the HP Virtual
Connect - Ethernet Networking Scenario Cookbook.
Flex10 Configuration
On the DVD-ROM, you will find a folder named
Flex10
. This folder
contains configuration files for the Flex10 modules.
The format of these files is CLI.
How to Use a Configuration File
1.
Open an SSH session with the active Flex10 (for such a session, you
can use for example the free tool "putty").
