Figure 8. 10GbE iSCSI FS8600 Appliance Ports
1. Client network ports 2. Internal/iSCSI ports
2. Connect each appliance to the SAN/internal network.
• Use LC optical ber or twinax cables to connect all controller internal/iSCSI ports to the SAN/internal network Ethernet
switches.
– For all controllers, eth30 (upper right port), must be connected to the same subnet.
– For all controllers, eth31 (lower right port), must be connected to the same subnet.
• Make sure each controller is connected to each switch.
3. Connect each appliance to the client network.
• For each controller, use LC optical ber or twinax cables to connect both client ports to client network Ethernet switches.
• Make sure each controller is connected to each switch.
4. Use the cable labels shipped with the appliance to label each cable.
Example of 10GbE iSCSI Cluster Conguration
The following examples show the best-practices conguration for 10GbE iSCSI clusters.
• Client network – Each FS8600 controller has multiple connections to each stacked Ethernet switch.
• SAN/Internal network – Each FS8600 controller has multiple connections to the stacked internal/SAN network Ethernet
switches.
– Internal trac between the FS8600 controllers is untagged.
