Configuring the GbE Data Ports
The GbE data ports are used for block-level data transport between your
backup servers and the REO Appliance. Data Port 1 and Data Port 2 are
fully interchangeable prior to configuration.
backup servers and the REO Appliance. Data Port 1 and Data Port 2 are
fully interchangeable prior to configuration.
Important:
Remember that the Management Port is on the LAN (a
10/100 network); use Data Port 1 and Data Port 2 on separate subnets
of the backup network. Data Port 1 and Data Port 2 each require an
available static IP address within their respective subnets. If you want
to manage the REO Appliance from the same port, use the GbE (Data
Port 1 or 2) IP address. Entering this IP address in your browser
displays the REO Appliance software console.

available static IP address within their respective subnets. If you want
to manage the REO Appliance from the same port, use the GbE (Data
Port 1 or 2) IP address. Entering this IP address in your browser
displays the REO Appliance software console.
If you have one or two backup servers, you can connect each one directly
to one of the data ports on the REO Appliance. The backup servers must
have a GbE port. If you have more than two backup servers, you must
make these connections through a GbE switch.

IP address that falls within the Data Port 1 subnet. An example of an
address is: 192.168.1.4.

If you change one of these settings, such as the IP Address, you
might need to reconnect to the server via your Web browser.
