Connect to the management network

Perform the following steps to connect a controller enclosure to the management network:

  1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the network port on each controller module.
  2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your management host can access, preferably on the same subnet.
    NOTE:If you connect the iSCSI and management ports to the same physical switches, Dell recommends using separate VLANs.
