• Frame size in bytes – User specified value
Ensure that your network switches support the selected frame size.
Note: If Jumbo frames are selected, ensure that they are configured end to end. To confirm that Jumbo
frames are supported, perform an end-to-end ping with the jumbo frame size and without fragmentation;
for example: ping <hostname> -f -l 8972
The data port IP addresses are assigned to interface pairs, such as eth5 on controller A and eth5 on controller B.
If one controller fails, the corresponding port on the remaining controller still has data access. At least one interface
pair must be configured. However, a minimum of two is recommended.
Note: To add a data subnet, click Add Data Subnet, provide the required information.
