4 Network Cable Connections
Before you connect each appliance to the network hardware, you must set up the required network infrastructure
and connect each appliance to the networks used in the NAS cluster.
Network Configuration Overview
The Dell EqualLogic FS7610 requires the following networks:
•
Client network—Used for client access to the NFS exports and CIFS shares hosted by the NAS cluster.
The recommended configuration is two client network connections to each controller.
•
SAN/internal network—Used for internal communication between the controllers and for communication
between the controllers and the EqualLogic PS Series SAN.
The recommended configuration is two SAN/internal network connections to each NAS controller.
For security reasons, the internal network is usually a private network. The client, SAN, and internal networks
must be separate subnets.
An FS7610 NAS appliance has four, two-port NICs for a total of eight network connections plus two ports used
for remote KVM.
