4. Select the interface to edit.
5. Click TCP Status Tasks, and select Edit.
6. Change the flow control setting on the Edit window.
7. Click OK.
8. Repeat steps through for all the NICs you want to change .
On the TCP Status tab window, for bonded NICs, the NIC flow control column shows the flow
control settings for the physical NICs, and the bond0 as blank. Flow control is enabled and working
in this case
The TCP/IP tab
Lists the network interfaces on the storage system. On the TCP/IP tab, you can bond interfaces,
disable an interface, configure an IP address, and ping servers from the storage system.
Identifying the network interfaces
A storage system comes with two or four Ethernet interfaces. To use either interface, you must
connect an Ethernet cable to one of the ports and configure the interface in the Configuration
Interface or the CMC. These ports are named and labeled on the back of the storage system.
Table 14 (page 50) lists the methods to identify the NICs. You can work with the NICs in the CMC
or through the Configuration Interface which is accessed through the storage system’s serial port,
as described in “Using the Configuration Interface” (page 239).

Pinging an IP address
Because the SAN should be on a private network, you can ping target IP addresses from a storage
system using the CMC. You can ping from any enabled interface listed on the TCP/IP tab. You
can ping any IP address, such as an iSCSI server or a Fibre Channel switch.
To ping an IP address
1. Select a storage system, and open the tree below it.
2. Select Network.
