Configuring Ethernet ports
We suggest that you use separate dedicated ports for host management and iSCSI. In this
case, we need to configure IPs on the iSCSI ports in the same subnet and virtual LAN (VLAN)
as the external storage that we want to attach to.
To configure Ethernet port IPs on Windows 2008 R2 and 2012 R2, complete the following
steps:
1. Go to Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network and Sharing Center. The
window that is shown in Figure 5-13 opens.

In this case, two networks are visible to the system. We use the first network to connect to
the server. It consists of a single dedicated Ethernet port for management. The second
network is our iSCSI network. It consists of two dedicated Ethernet ports for iSCSI. We
suggest that you use at least two dedicated ports for failover purposes.
