Nearly all standard four-post EIA 19” server racks are compatible with the DXi2500-D
rack mount kits. Refer to the physical characteristics of the DXi2500-D system for depth
requirements.
DXi2500-D Setup and
Configuration
0
After hardware has been installed and initially configured, you are ready to use your
DXi2500-D. The remote management Web pages allow you to reconfigure your
DXi2500-D at any time.
Required Network Information
0
To utilize the remote management pages of the DXi2500-D, you must connect it to your
network.
Note the following considerations:
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Command Protocol) is not supported.You must provide a
static IP address at the time of installation.
• The default IP Address is:
10.1.1.1
You and other administrative users can always return to the remote management pages to
modify all DXi2500-D settings, including network settings. Refer to the
DXi2500-D User’s
Guide
included on the Documentation CD for additional information on initially
configuring your DXi2500-D.
Network Segmentation
0
The DXi2500-D system allows you to configure the network settings to utilize network
segmentation. Network segmentation allows you to configure separate network settings
for each of the primary types of network traffic:
•
Replication
•
Management
•
Data
If network segmentation is selected, each segment (replication, management, and data)
will require it’s own network information such as an IP address, network mask, and
default gateway.
The number of IP addresses required for each DXi2500-D system depends on the type of
segmentation selected. Refer to the following list:
•
No Segmentation Selected
•
Single bonded interface composed of both ETH0 and ETH1
- If a single bonded
interface is selected, both ETH0 and ETH1 are configured as a single port with a
single IP address. Both ports would be viewed as a single port for all traffic.
(
1 IP address Required
)
Note:
Not segmented (
Bond All
) is the default configuration.
