Configuring Network Ports

To configure a network port, choose

Network | Network Ports

. The Network

Port Configuration window appears:

Review or change the following:

• Click the check box to

Enable Jumbo Frames

(or to disable them when

already enabled). Using standard frames, the packets sent through the
network are 1.5K. Using jumbo frames, the packets sent through the network
are 9K. Jumbo frames improve performance, but they must be supported by
your network to work properly.

• Enter a new address for Port 0. Port 0 is the external or data port. The Public

IP address is the address of the server node on the network. For more
information on valid IP addresses, refer to “Entering IP Addresses” on page
105.

• For port 0, enter a netmask.

After entering changes, click

Save

. You are asked if you want to reboot

immediately or wait until later.

NOTE: Enabling jumbo frames or changing the netmask will not
take effect until the appliance node is rebooted. Stop all I/O activities.
Reboot the appliance; wait for the browser to be redirected to the new
IP after you save the configuration.
