Setup Network Environment
Overview
This function sets up an the environment for the storage system to communicate with an external network.
Configuration is required for each MNT, RMT and FST port.
MNT port
The MNT port is used for general communication between the storage system and the external hosts.
For the ETERNUS DX60 S5/DX100 S5/DX200 S5 and the ETERNUS AF150 S3/AF250 S3, this port is also used for maintenance of the storage system.
RMT port
The RMT port is used when the line must be separated from the MNT port.
This port must be configured for the ETERNUS DX500 S5/DX600 S5/DX900 S5, the ETERNUS DX8100 S4/DX8900 S4, and the ETERNUS AF650 S3.
FST port
The FST port is used for maintenance of the storage system.
This port must be configured for the ETERNUS DX500 S5/DX600 S5/DX900 S5, the ETERNUS DX8100 S4/DX8900 S4, and the ETERNUS AF650 S3.
If the message "Currently Network Configuration is set to factory default." is displayed in the system message field, the network environment settings must be performed. Some functions are not available if the network environment settings for the MNT port are incomplete. Refer to "Functions that cannot be performed in a factory default network environment" for details.
Logging in again may be required after the settings are complete.
MNT ports and RMT ports support both "IPv4" and "IPv6". FST ports only support "IPv4".
Both or either "IPv4 address" and "IPv6 address" can be set for a port.
When the network environment settings are the same as the factory default, all the input items in the [IPv4 Settings] tab for the MNT port are cleared. Information that is configured in the storage system is not displayed. Note that in the [IPv6 Settings] tab, the information that is configured in the storage system is displayed.
When SNMP Manager exists in a different subnetwork from the storage system, specify the IP address or the network address of SNMP Manager in "Allowable IP Address" of this function.
Available operations vary depending on the models and ports. Refer to "Available Port Operations for each Model" for details.
To enable or disable each service (such as HTTP and HTTPS), use the [Setup Firewall] function.

IPv6 Address Notation
Since the IPv6 address is 128-bit and extremely long, this address is displayed using "xxxx", which describes 16-bit in hexadecimals as being one block that is separated by colons (":").
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
• Use 0 - ffff (FFFF) (hexadecimal, alphanumeric characters) for inputting an IPv6 address
• The current setting is displayed with 0 - ffff (hexadecimal, "a" - "f" are lowercase letters)
• Up to 128-bit
• The first 64-bit (prefix) of the link local address is fixed to "fe80::"
The following three abbreviation methods are available for IPv6 addresses:
(1) Omission of the first "0" of a block that follows consecutive zeros.
[Example] 2001:1000:0120:0000:0000:0123:0000:0000
↓
2001:1000:120:0000:0000:123:0000:0000
(2) Replacement of "0000" blocks with "0".
[Example] 2001:1000:120:0000:0000:123:0000:0000
↓
2001:1000:120:0:0:123:0:0
(3) Replacement of a block with consecutive zeros by "::" is performed only once.
[Example] 2001:1000:120:0:0:123:0:0
↓
2001:1000:120::123:0:0 is OK
2001:1000:120::123:: is not allowed (Replacement of a block with consecutive zeros by "::" is allowed only once.)
- The following IP addresses cannot be specified:
Link local addresses for which all of the values for the low 64-bit are "0"
Connect IP addresses (*1) for which the first 3-bit are not "001" or the first 7-bit are not "1111110"
*1 : The connect IP address indicates either a "global address", "unique local address", or "6to4 address". The first 64-bit of the gateway is "fe80::" and all of the values for low 64-bit are "0"
Network addresses for which the first 3-bit of the gateway are "001"
Network addresses for which the first 7-bit of the gateway are "1111110"
DNS server IP addresses for which the first 3-bit are not "001" or the first 7-bit are not "1111110"
