Cabling Tiger Box1-8B
Tiger Box1-8B features a Public network port for connection to a computer, from
which to perform the initial setup of Tiger Box1-8B and assign IP addresses to all
available network ports (refer to Administering Tiger Box1-8B User's Guide). Before
cabling Tiger Box1-8B it is important to carefully plan the topology of your network.
Client computers can connect to Tiger Box1-8B as SAN clients (connected via Fibre
Channel) or LAN clients (connected via 1GbE or 10GbE). While SAN clients need the
additional network connection (through a 1GbE/10GbE port) for metadata exchange
with Tiger Box1-8B, LAN clients use only one network port for both data traffic and
metadata exchange. As metadata overhead is kept to an absolute minimum, there's no
need to connect each SAN client to a separate network port, but rather connect them
to the Public port through an Ethernet switch and spare the remaining network ports
for connecting LAN clients. You can connect client computers directly to the available
FC/10GbE/1GbE ports for full bandwidth, or you can expand the number of
connected clients by deploying FC/Ethernet switches. Note that in this configuration
the bandwidth available to each node decreases, as additional nodes are added.
Important: If you want to connect your Fibre Channel clients using multipathing, prior
to connecting them to the appliance, contact Tiger Technology support for
instructions.
Tiger Box1-8B also allows you to team the ports of a single 1/10GbE NIC (the Ethernet
switch or the client computer NIC must support link aggregation). Besides allowing a
network card to be accessed through a single IP address, and sparing you the need to
specify a separate IP address for each port, port teaming also can provide more
bandwidth through a single IP address.
Important: It is advisable when planning the topology of the network, to
make sure that no client computer has more than one network connection
(through two or more IP addresses) to the appliance - for example, direct
connection through a 10GbE port and connection through an Ethernet switch.
Additionally, Tiger Box1-8B features an Admin network port, which is assigned a
preset IP address, which you cannot change. The Admin port is designed as a safety
net, providing you with access to web interface in case you misconfigure the
appliance’s network identification and fail to connect to it.
