Advanced Configuration
In this configuration:
• Management and data paths are on different subnets or networks
• Port eth0 handles management traffic
• Ports eth1 through eth3 handle data traffic
The following example shows one possible way to connect the cabling for an advanced configuration. The data and management
paths are shown separately. Note that the subnet addresses in the data path illustration are just examples. Your settings will
differ. The advanced configuration uses the maximum number of data connections on the iSCSI network to obtain the best
availability and throughput.
In more advanced configurations, you can define your own network configuration to handle the desired I/O flow.
