Setting up the Level 30R Gig E switch
These procedures are for the HP ProCurve switch 2900 series. You must use this
switch for iSCSI traffic on Level 30R.
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.
“Design considerations for Ethernet switches” on page 559
• 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
switch via serial connection” on page 301
• Set up VLANs on each switch. Refer to
“Configuring the GigE switch via the Web
• Configure QOS and verify the flow control setting.
