Ethernet Ports
The two independent 10/100/1000 Ethernet RJ45 data ports support TCP/IP-based data transfer. These
two ports are also referred to as “dp0” and “dp1.” They are labeled Ethernet ports 0 and 1 on the SNC 4500

A separate 10/100/1000 Ethernet standard RJ45 management port provides monitoring and management
through the SNC Manager, the management GUI. This port is labeled Ethernet port 2 on the SNC 4500 in

In the command line interface, data ports are referred to as “dp0” and “dp1” and the management port is
referred to as the “mp0.”

CAUTION
For best performance, all cabling, network interface cards (NICs),
host bus adapters (HBAs), and network switches must be Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE), and at least Cat 5e certified. Most standard offices
use 2-pair wiring which is not compatible. GbE requires 4-pair wiring.
For best performance, support for 9014 byte jumbo frames should be
available for all switches and host iSCSI equipment.
