14 Complete network configuration
Assuming you have only configured LAN port 1 (eth0) at this point, you will have a network
configuration that contains a single Port Set on a 1 GbE network containing one Subnet. This is
typically the network connection for the StoreOnce Management Console.
You can either edit the configuration or create a new one to cater for the requirements of your
networking environment. For example:
You may wish to use a bonded Port Set for the StoreOnce Management Console.
StoreOnce 3100 System: You may wish to configure the remaining 1 GbE ports for dedicated
backup and/or replication and StoreOnce Catalyst Copy.
StoreOnce 3500 Series, StoreOnce 5100 System and StoreOnce 5500 System: You have
the same 1 GbE configuration possibilities as the StoreOnce 3100 System, but you may
also have 10 GbE Network cards installed.
Read this chapter to find out how to use the StoreOnce GUI to add a network configuration. Make
sure you understand your hardware and networking environment before creating the configuration.
IMPORTANT:

and IPv6 and IPv4 protocols. For information about StoreOnce 10 GbE Optional Hardware see

NOTE:
Administrators who have experience of installing and configuring StoreOnce Systems
may prefer to use the StoreOnce CLI commands, particularly net set wizard to configure
the network for the first time. This is described in the StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide.
To add a custom network configuration
The following steps provide an overview of the process that is valid for both the StoreOnce GUI
and StoreOnce CLI..
1.
Create the configuration (or copy an existing one) and specify the DNS servers, as required.
2.
Create the first Port Set and save the configuration. At this point you may decide to set up
Subnets for the Port Set, or to continue to set up all required Port Sets before defining
Subnets for each Port Set.
3.
Create the required Subnets for each Port Set and save the configuration.
4.
Validate the configuration.
5.
If validation fails, correct errors. If it passes, either activate immediately at the prompt. Or
save the configuration and activate subsequently from the Custom Network Configuration
List.
TIP:
If configuring multiple VLANs, or reconfiguring a complex network, it may take several
minutes for the configuration to activate. During this time the Current Configuration page will
show the previous configuration and will be updated once activation is complete for the new
configuration.
Step 1: Create new configuration and define DNS servers
1.
On the Custom page, click on the New button.
2.
Enter a Config Name. The name must be unique; spaces and special characters are not
permitted but underscore is allowed. The Config Description is optional. However, it is
