Figure 4 Recommended E5300 Messaging System network configuration
4. Domain controller1. Clients
5. Replication network2. Client/MAPI network
6. Firewall3. File share witness
By default, the E5000 Configuration Wizard sets up the Client/MAPI and Replication networks
as follows:
• Client/MAPI network
Server 1/Port 1 and Server 2/Port 2 network ports connect to this network.◦
◦ Labels this network as the MAPI network on each server.
◦ The default setting is static, but you can use the E5000 Configuration Wizard to configure
DHCP addressing.
• Replication network
Server 1/Port 2 and Server 2/Port 1 network ports connect to the replication network.◦
◦ The E5000 Configuration Wizard automatically sets these static addresses by default
(but also allows you to change them):
– Server 1 – 10.0.0.1
– Server 2 – 10.0.0.2
Use one of the Ethernet cables shipped with the E5000 system to connect the replication ports,
as shown in Figure 4 (page 11).
E5300 Messaging System connection options
Figure 5 (page 12) shows the recommended option for connecting the EMU to the servers (this
configuration is recommended after the initial configuration. For the initial configuration of EMU
and iLO, the EMU port must be connected directly to the administrator's laptop or PC).
Figure 5 (page 12) shows the recommended Replication network configuration option. To use this
option, you need a VLAN switch, and you must ensure that the MAPI and Replication networks
are kept separate.
