Basic Network Configuration for File

Upon completion of this module, you should be able to:• Configure Data Mover network devices• Implement DNS and Time Services

Basic Network Configuration for File 1



Lesson 1: Data Mover Network Devices


During this lesson the following topics are covered:• Network device speed and duplex settings• IP interface for client access• Routing table

Duplex & Transmission Speed

• Duplex setting Preferred setting is auto (Default) Best practice setting is auto for GigE connections

• Transmission Speed Defaults to auto Use maximum speed supported on the network between the VNX

and the client

IPv6 Support

• VNX supports IPv6 IP addresses• More addresses• Better security

Roll security into the protocol

• IPv6 address example:

2620:0000:0170:0062:021B:D5FF:FE25:7082

Data Mover Routing

• Routing table of a Data Mover directs outgoing network traffic via, both external and internal gateways Routes to a host Routes to a network

• Data Mover routing table can contain 3 types of routes Directly connected Static Dynamic

• Packet Reflect Reply to network client requests Route and ARP tables are not examined

No need to determine the route to send the reply packets


Multiple Interfaceson a Network

When more than one IP interface are on the same network, the first interface configured will be the default path out of the Data Mover.Example: Interface “A” iscreated on a Data Mover, then interface “B”. All resource queries (e.g. DNS) will go out through interface “A”.

Lesson 2: Implement DNS and Time Services


During this lesson the following topics are covered:• Data Mover DNS Configuration• Time Services (NTP and SNTP)• Implement Time Services for a Data Mover


Displaying DNS Settings


Settings > Network > Settings For File > DNS


Configuring a Data Mover for DNS



Time Services Overview


• Data Mover NTP client Synchronization of the system clock with an NTP or SNTP server

• NTP Sophisticated algorithms for time correction and maintenance to

allow time synchronization with an accuracy of about a millisecond

• SNTP Subset of NTP for use in environments with less stringent

synchronization and accuracy requirements

• To the client, NTP or SNTP are indistinguishable
