The two controllers in an array must have the same host connectivity configuration. For example, a
system with 10 GbE ports and Fibre Channel ports is not possible.
The following sections contain network connections for supported storage controller configurations.
Network configuration for array enclosure with 1 GbE controller modules
(two port)
All iSCSI, Remote Copy, and Management traffic are routed through these two ports. The two 1 GbE
ports are bonded together for redundancy and performance during the Configuration Setup procedure.
Physical connections:
Connect 1G-1 and 1G-2 on each controller to a switch (four 1 GbE connections).
Required IP addresses:
• Two for the 1 GbE network on Controller 1
• Two for the 1 GbE network on Controller 2
• One for the VIP
• All other interfaces are disabled
The following figure illustrates the cabling described.

Network configuration for array enclosure with 1 GbE controller modules
(four ports)
All iSCSI, Remote Copy, and Management traffic are routed through these four ports. The 1 GbE ports
are bonded together for redundancy and performance during the Configuration Setup procedure.
Physical connections:
Connect 1G-1, 1G-2, 1G-3, and 1G-4 on each controller to a switch (eight 1 GbE connections).
