Connecting NAS b3000 v2 to the Network
The NAS b3000 v2 can be connected to the network as a single device or as a
clustered pair.
NAS b3000 v2 Single Device Deployment
The default shipping configuration contains a two-port embedded network
interface controller (NIC) that provides two ports for client data access. These
data ports also allow access to the Web user interface (WebUI) that accompanies
the product. It is from this WebUI that most management and administrative
procedures can be accomplished. An additional management port for remote
console and diagnostics is provided off the iLO port. HP recommends that this
connection be placed on a management LAN separate from the corporate
infrastructure.
The NAS b3000 v2 supports the use of NIC teaming. NIC teaming provides
failover and load balancing of network ports of the NAS b3000 v2. NIC teaming
requires the network cables to be installed on the same subnet to enable it to work.
For example, in Figure 3, Eth0 and Eth1 would need to be on the same subnet to
enable this functionality on those ports. However, it is not recommended to assign
IP addresses to the ports that will be teamed or load balanced prior to the
installation and setup of NIC teaming. For this reason, HP recommends that you
set all network ports to DHCP. For information concerning the configuration of
NIC teaming after setup is complete, see the administration guide.
