• 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 10 GbE/10GBase-T
controller modules (two ports)
All iSCSI, Remote Copy, and Management traffic is routed through these ports. The ports are bonded
together for redundancy and performance during the Configuration Setup procedure.
Physical requirements
• Connect 10G-1 and 10G-2 on each controller to a switch (four 10 GbE connections).
• Optional: The two 1 GbE ports can be put in a separate after the initial configuration, and used on a
different subnet by assigning a different traffic type to the bond.
• Systems with 10 GbE or 10GBASE-T must use the 10 GbE or 10GBASE-T interfaces as the data
interfaces for iSCSI traffic.
• The 10G Base-T network interfaces cannot be connected to a 1 GbE device. While the network cable
connectors are physically compatible, the 10GBase-T interface on the storage controller cannot
negotiate at 1 GbE speeds and the network interface will not link.
