Basic Network Configuration for File Lesson 1: Data Mover Network Devices • During this lesson the following topics are covered: • Network device speed and duplex settings • IP interface for client access • Routing table Basic Network Configuration for File
Modifying and Displaying Configuration Settings > Network > Settings For File Basic Network Configuration for File
Listing Network Devices Settings > Network > Settings for File > Devices Basic Network Configuration for File
Duplex & Transmission Speed • Duplex setting • Preferred setting is auto (Default) • Best practice setting is auto for GigE connections • Transmission Speed • Defaults to auto • Use maximum speed supported on the network between the VNX and the client Basic Network Configuration for File
Setting Speed/Duplex Device Properties to set Speed/Duplex Basic Network Configuration for File
IP Address Configuration • Interfaces tab > Create • Required Parameters • IP Address • Subnet mask • Broadcast address Basic Network Configuration for File
Displaying IP Configuration Settings > Network > Settings For File > Interfaces Basic Network Configuration for File
IPv6 Support • VNX supports IPv6 IP addresses • More addresses • Better security • Roll security into the protocol • IPv6 address example: 2620:0000:0170:0062:021B:D5FF:FE25:7082 Network Subnet Interface ID Basic Network Configuration for File

Data Mover Routing • Routing table of a Data Mover directs outgoing network traffic via, both external and internal gateways • Routes to a host • Routes to a network • Data Mover routing table can contain 3 types of routes • Directly connected • Static • Dynamic • Packet Reflect • Reply to network client requests • Route and ARP tables are not examined • No need to determine the route to send the reply packets Multiple Interfaces on a Network When more than one IP interface are on the same network, the first interface configured will be the default path out of the Data Mover. Example: Interface “A” iscreated on a Data Mover, then interface “B”. All resource queries (e.g. DNS) will go out through interface “A”. Basic Network Configuration for File

Time Services Overview • Data Mover NTP client • Synchronization of the system clock with an NTP or SNTP server • NTP • Sophisticated algorithms for time correction and maintenance to allow time synchronization with an accuracy of about a millisecond • SNTP • Subset of NTP for use in environments with less stringent synchronization and accuracy requirements • To the client, NTP or SNTP are indistinguishable Basic Network Configuration for File
