Ethernet connectivity

IBM FlashSystem® storage systems can use Ethernet networks and covers multiple aspects of Ethernet connectivity.

Routing considerations
When you configure any of the protocols for event notifications, consider these routing decisions.
Configuring VLAN
Consider these guidelines and tasks before you configure a virtual local area network (VLAN).
System IP addresses
The system IP address provides access to the system management interfaces and access to remote services.
Priority flow control
Priority flow control (PFC) is an Ethernet standard that supports the ability to select the priority of different types of traffic within the network.
Modifying VLAN for priority flow control
You can change Virtual local area network (VLAN) settings to separate network traffic for Ethernet transport.
Planning for a direct-attached iSCSI configuration
A direct-attached configuration dedicates entire port bandwidth to be used for a specific connection. Planning must account for the volume of expected traffic before you decide how many ports are used in a direct-attached configuration. Direct attached connections are supported on the same speed at both ends.
