Connecting Ethernet cables to the node canisters

To provide system management connectivity for the system, connect Ethernet cables to Ethernet port 1 of both node canisters in the enclosure.

To install the Ethernet cables, complete the following steps.

Connect Ethernet port 1 of each node canister in the system to the IP network that will provide connection to the system management interfaces, as shown in Figure 1.
This port can also be used for iSCSI connectivity to the system by hosts on the network. Where more than one control enclosure is present in the system, ensure port 1 of every node canister is connected to the same network to provide access if the configuration node fails.
