Appliance network interface card port assignments
The following section describes the on-board 1Gb network interface card (NIC) port and Ethernet (eth) port assignments. It also describes the PCIe-based 10Gb NIC port and Ethernet port assignments for each 5350 Appliance.
Table: Appliance compute node network interface port information
Port | Function |
|---|
eth0/NIC1/host1 (copper/RJ45 connector) | NetBackup Appliance (eth0/NIC1): Used for the initial configuration of the appliance. After completing the initial configuration, you can connect NIC1 (eth0) to an administrative network that does not provide any backup data transfer.
For more information, see the NetBackup™ 53xx Appliance Initial Configuration Guide.
Veritas does not support forming a NIC bond using eth0/NIC1 with other eth/NIC ports. Flex Appliance (host1): A 1-GbE port copper connector that you can connect to an administrative network to manage the 5350 Appliance system. It is bonded with host0 during initial configuration as bond mgmt0.
|
eth1/NIC2/host0 (copper/RJ45 connector) | NetBackup Appliance (eth1/NIC2): A 1-GbE port for general use. Flex Appliance (host0): A 1-GbE port copper connector that you can connect to an administrative network to manage the 5350 Appliance system. It is bonded with host1 during initial configuration as bond mgmt0.
|
eth2/NIC3/privnic1 (copper/RJ45 connector) | NetBackup Appliance (eth2/NIC3): A 1-GbE port for general use. Flex Appliance (privnic1): A 1-GbE Private Low Latency Transport port that is used for connections between the two appliance compute nodes.
|
eth3/NIC4/privnic0 (copper/RJ45 connector) | NetBackup Appliance (eth3/NIC4): A 1-GbE port for general use. Flex Appliance (privnic0): A 1-GbE Private Low Latency Transport port that is used for connections between the two appliance compute nodes.
|
eth ports 4-13 NIC ports 0-7
(Fibre connector; slot2 right port)
| NetBackup Appliance (eth ports 4-13): A 10/25GbE port for general use. Flex Appliance (NIC ports 0-7): A 10/25GbE port for Flex instance communication
