Mounting the Array
Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE)
When the unit’s IP address is unknown or a network connection has not
been established, the serial cable is used for connecting directly with the
Command Line Interface (CLI) via HyperTerminal. When a network
connection is established, the Array can be managed from any of the
available network connections, either Fast Ethernet, Gigabit 1 or Gigabit 2.
!
The Array’s Ethernet ports should be plugged into an Ethernet switch, not an
Ethernet hub — if a hub is used, we recommend that you connect only one
Ethernet port.
!
The Gigabit1 Ethernet interface is the primary port for both data and
management traffic. If a single Ethernet connection is used, it must be
connected to the Gigabit1 Ethernet interface. See also, “Port Failover
Protection” on page 80.
The 10/100 Ethernet Port may be used for managing the Array out of band
from the Gigabit Ethernet ports. The 10/100 port will route only management
traffic, using a static route that may be configured for this interface. See
“interface” on page 370.
