HP EFS WAN
Accelerator
Ports
The following table summarizes the ports used to connect the HP EFS WAN
Accelerator to your network.
Interface
Naming
C o n v e n t i o n s
The interface names for the bypass cards are a combination of the slot number and the
port pairs (<slot>_<pair>, <slot>_<pair>). For example, if a four-port bypass card is
located in slot 0 of your appliance, the interface names are: lan0_0, wan0_0, lan0_1,
and wan0_1 respectively. Alternatively, if the bypass card is located in slot 1 of your
appliance, the interface names are: lan1_0, wan1_0, lan1_1, and wan1_1 respectively.
The maximum number of pairs is six, which is three four-port bypass cards. For
detailed information about installing additional bypass cards, see the
HP StorageWorks
Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Bypass NIC Installation Guide
.
Mounting the HP EFS WAN Accelerator to a
Rack
Refer to the instructions that came with your rack kit.
Port Description
Console Connects the serial cable to a terminal device. You establish a serial
connection to a terminal emulation program for console access to the
configuration wizard and the HP EFS WAN Accelerator command-line
interface (CLI).
Primary
(PRI)
The management interface that connects the HP EFS WAN Accelerator
to a LAN switch. This management interface enables you to connect to
the Management Console and the HP EFS WAN Accelerator CLI.
TIP: The Primary and Auxiliary ports cannot share the same network
subnet.
TIP: The Primary and in-path interfaces can share the same subnet.
TIP: You must use the Primary port on the server-side for out-of-path
deployments.
Auxiliary (AUX) An optional port that provides an additional management interface for a
secondary network. You cannot have the Primary and Auxiliary ports
on the same subnet.
TIP: The Auxiliary and in-path interfaces cannot share the same
network subnet.
TIP: You cannot use the Auxiliary port for out-of-path HP EFS WAN
Accelerators.
WAN Connects the WAN port of the HP EFS WAN Accelerator and the WAN
router using a cross-over cable.
LAN Connects the LAN port of the HP EFS WAN Accelerator and the LAN
switch using a straight-through cable.
NOTE: If the HP EFS WAN Accelerator is deployed between two
switches, both the LAN and WAN ports must be connected with
straight-through cables.
