Ethernet Connection
This chapter provides examples of how to connect your storage array to an Ethernet
network for out-of-band storage array management. If you plan to use in-band storage
array management, Ethernet cable might not be necessary for management
connections.
For illustrations showing the Ethernet port locations on the specific controller tray
model or controller-drive tray model that you are installing, see the topics under
"Component Locations" on page 153.
ATTENTION Possible loss of data access – If you use out-of-band management,
connect the Ethernet ports on the controller tray or the controller-drive tray to a private
network segment behind a firewall. If the Ethernet connection is not protected by a
firewall, your storage array might be at risk of being accessed from outside of your
network.
