    In WebUI, go to the Cluster Management->Network Configuration-> groupnet0 (any groupnet)->subnet0 (any subnet)-> More->Add Pool. Add an IP range and pick mgmt-1 from each LNN/node to add to pool.

    interface is common which is used for GUI/CLI as well as other non-data communications such as DNS/NTP/AD.

    only CIFS/NFS will use 10g interfaces to communicate.

    Hi Phil!

               The interfaces "mgmt-1" can be used only to access WebUI and CLI, correct?


               All other connections (DNS, NTP, AD, etc) must be througth the external (ext-1 and ext-2) interfaces. Correct?

               I did not find any document that refers the mgmt-1 interfaces. :-(

    Thank you!

    This interface can be used for data (NFS/SMB) if you choose to make it available to users for this. There is not enforced restrictions today.

    thanks for your answer

    if I understand correctly I will find as external interface mgmt-1, 10gige-1 10gige-2

    I can set mgmt-1 for webgui, cli, esrs access  and 10gige-x for client access

    the ip address for mgmt-1 has to be setup first by serial interface then optionnaly in the webgui (so no default adress at shipping)

    then I can configure subnet and pool for agreggation, cifs and nfs access

    is this correct ?

    Phil Lam> yes

    Phil Lam> client can can access SMB & NFS via mgmt-1

    the ip address for mgmt-1 has to be setup first by serial interface then optionnaly in the webgui (so no default adress at shipping)

    Phil Lam> I've only seen mgmt-1 available thru CLI & WebUI after cluster has been setup via serial (haven't seen it on serial setup)

    then I can configure subnet and pool for agreggation, cifs and nfs access

    Phil Lam> yes

    KB#524637 "{Isilon} Gen 6: The bge0 (MGMT) interface should be used for SSH only." states as follows:

    The 1G MGMT interface on Generation 6 hardware is designed to handle ssh traffic. It does not support TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload). This can cause the interface to flap when exposed to a moderate to heavy workload.

     

    This means mgmt-1 can be used only for CLI.
