Installation Guide Overview

Physical Connectivity

The NLE Gateway platform has two models. The NXH1UNLE model features gigabit Ethernet. The

NXH1UNLE model features 10-gigabit Ethernet.

NXH1UNLE

Model NXH1UNLE contains the following:

2 motherboard Ethernet network ports.

4 gigabit Ethernet network ports.

2 fibre channel ports.

The client workstation's connection to the Nexio NLE gateway depends on the hardware platform. The

NXH1UNLE quad Ethernet ports connect to a gigabit Ethernet switch. This switch also interfaces to the

client workstations. Here is a sample network with an NXH1UNLE

Nexio® NLE Gateway Chapter 1

Installation Guide Overview

Note. When connecting more than 4 client workstations to the NLE Gateway, do not map more than

two workstations to any one Ethernet port or IP Address.

NXH1UNLG

NXH1UNLG contains the following:

2 motherboard Ethernet network ports.

2 10 gigabit Ethernet network ports.

2 fibre channel ports.

The NXH1UNLG dual 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports connect to a 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch. It also interfaces

to the client workstations via Gigabit Ethernet. Here is a sample network with an NXH1UNLG.

Installation Guide Configuring the NLE Gateway Hardware

Configuring the NLE Gateway

Hardware

This chapter describes how to configure a Nexio NLE gateway hardware device. Here is a summary list of

configuration tasks you must perform.

Use the Nexio Config software tool to configure your NLE Gateway.

Confirm Network Connections including the following:

Physical connections.

IP Addresses.

Switch Settings.

Configuring the Intel NIC Cards

Configuring the Chelsio Adapter

Configuring Farad Storage

Upgrading an FCP Integration Gateway to an NLE Gateway

Confirm Network Connections

Physical Connections

Physical Ethernet infrastructures can be developed using three networks. The infrastructure must be

built up so that a single failure does not compromise both physical connections of any pair listed here:

UDP SAN1and UDP SAN2

Network switch A and B

Network switch C and D

Physical Ethernet infrastructures can be built using one of the following methods:

1. In a case where the infrastructure has stand-alone switches, you should use separate switches for

each of the networks. If you need more than one switch per network, the switches supporting that

network must be connected via backplane UniStack stacking cables.

2. In a case where the infrastructure has one enterprise class switch, you can use multiple blades or

separate blades (or blade sets) for each of the networks.

3. In a case where the infrastructure has enterprise class switches with multiple blades, you should

separate each of the networks, one on each switch. In this case, blade usage does not matter, but

try to use the same blade numbers on each switch for easy identification.

In case 3, you can achieve an additional layer of recovery by populating each switch with enough blades

to support all the networks, as though you were building with a single switch (same as case 2). To do
