a private network, or configure it behind a firewall or proxy server.

You will need to access the back of the storage system. The LAN cable to the HP P6000
management module and the reset button are on the back of the controller enclosure. The
LAN connection on the HP P6000 management module is MDI-X compliant and supports
straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables (Cat 5e or better).
