interface, otherwise it is routed to the working interface. For illustration, assume that the eth4

interface was chosen for transmission.

4. The packet is transmitted out the eth4 connection to the customer edge switch.

5. Packet routing from this switch to the file client is completed within the customer’s network.

Packet traversing from node to node:

1. The packet is created in the application layer of StoreAll node 1 and is destined for StoreAll

node 2.

2. The operating system determines by IP address that StoreAll node 2 can be reached through

the bond0 interface and queues the packet for that interface.

3. The bond driver determines which of its two underlying physical interfaces to use. For

illustration, assume that the eth5 (StoreAll node 1) interface was chosen for transmission.

4. The packet is transmitted out eth5 (StoreAll node 1) to the customer edge switch.

5. The switch determines that the destination is out one of its other ports, and forwards the packet

to the port that is connected to eth5 (node 2).

6. StoreAll node 2 receives the packet on eth5 and passes it to the bond 0 driver.

7. The application layer on StoreAll node 2 receives the packet from the bond0 interface.

Packet traversing from node to management network (9320 only):

1. The packet is created in the application layer of the node and is destined for the management

interface of channel-A in the network managed storage enclosure.

2. The operating system determines by IP address that the management network can be reached

through the bond0 interface and queues the packet for that interface.

3. The bond driver determines which of its two underlying physical interfaces should be used to

transmit the packet. For illustration, assume that the eth4 interface was chosen for transmission.

4. The packet is transmitted from eth4 to the customer edge switch.

5. The packet is routed through the customer’s network to the edge switch connected to the

network managed storage enclosure's channel-A management interface.

6. The embedded system on the network managed storage controller receives and processes the

packet.

Table 18 (page 59) shows the mapping of the logical networks to the server interface hardware

when the servers are configured and shipped with an additional 10 Gb interface card.
