Setting up the Level 10R Gig E switch
These procedures are for the HP ProCurve switch 2900 series. You must use this
switch for iSCSI traffic on Level 10R.
For control and FTP/streaming traffic, it is allowed to use a different brand of switch,
such as a Cisco Catalyst switch, if required by your site. If you are using a non-HP
switch, apply the information in the following procedures accordingly. Refer to the
documentation you received with the switch as necessary.
Also refer to “Design considerations for Ethernet switches” on page 509 .
• You need at least two switches, so that the “A” media (iSCSI) network and the “B”
media (iSCSI) network each have their own switch.
• Assign an IP address and logon to each switch. Refer to “Configuring the GigE
switch via serial connection” on page 75 .
• Set up VLANs on each switch. Refer to “Configuring the GigE switch via the Web
interface” on page 78 .
Also refer to “K2 Ethernet switch description” on page 395 and “Design
considerations for Ethernet switches” on page 509 .
Configuring the GigE switch via serial connection
NOTE: Make sure you check the switch firmware and upgrade if necessary, as
instructed at the end of this procedure.
The following procedure is for the HP ProCurve switch 2900 series. Do not use this
procedure on other switch models.
