R900 network configuration

I have installed new R900 and it has 12 physical network interface cards, but I think I use 2 of them for vSwitch and will run more than 30 virtual machines... One is for SC and one for VMotion. What is the best practice to configure a network on that? any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

We use Dell R905 hosts as well and for configurations you have too many options for all types of traffic.  Set of rules is always use 2 natachasery to a group of unique ports of dismissal and you can figure out from there.  Each groups of ports would be on its own VIRTUAL local network and ensure as much as possible and heres' the suggestion:

1 vNIC1 - > SC/VMotion

2 vNIC2 - > VMotion/SC

3-vNIC3-4-> virtual Network01 machine

4 vNIC5-6-> DMZ Network01

5 vNIC7-8-> NFS Network01

6 vNIC9-10-> iSCSI network

7 vNIC11-12-> Backup/Out of band/Spare networks

You can replace these networks as NFS/iSCSI for for various networks virtual machine port groups, if you wish.  But here is the full list of networks, you may have.

If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

  • HP Envy 5540: Printer Hp Envy 5540 randomly printed the Network Configuration Page

    Hello!

    I bought this printer about a month ago. Set up the connection to the printer wireless with my wifi, and my understanding is that the printer is protected like my wifi and use the same password in order to print something. I kept my printer connected and 'standby mode' since I put in place. The night last at about 23:00 when I was in bed, the printer turned on randomly and printed a "wireless network configuration page" that has had a lot of information, including the IP address and listing my name wifi as well as the names of my neighbors wifi in the surrounding apartments.

    I'm trying to understand why this printed, because I certainly did not do. Anyone have access to my wifi, or has someone may simply try to print something and selected my printer as it should appear on the "list available connections on the computer of anyone, given that the printer is turned on? How could they print this sheet of network configuration if my printer is password protected?

    I'm mostly concerned about someone who has access to my internet if they could print this page somehow, but maybe it happened just when they tried to connect to it, and it did not work while trying to fix MY printer?

    I would appreciate any idea on the issue.

    Thank you!

    Hi @printerprob5540,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I saw your post on how your HP Envy 5540 randomly print a Network Configuration Page. I'm happy to help with this problem!

    I find it very strange considering the only way to print the Network Configuration Page, AFAIK, is with the following steps:

    • Make sure that there are size A4 or US Letter, unused, plain paper in the feeder.
    • On the printer Panel, drag the screen to the left and then press Setup.
    • Touch tools.
    • Drag upward on the screen and then tap Network Configuration report.
    • A Network Configuration Page prints up to three pages of information.

    original title: grafting the internet

    Hi Maureen,

    That your router has security enabled protection?  My guess is it doesn't and it's the way that person uses your wireless connection (like someone to visit with a laptop you could if you configure).

    As a general rule, access to the router is by typing http://192.168.1.1 (or whatever your gateway address) in the address bar of your browser and you will be able to bring up the router configuration settings.  He'll probably want a username and password.  Sorry, I can't help you there because I have no idea what it could be.  Try admin/admin or admin/password or administrator/administrator or administrator/password or admin and no password or admin and no password (the classic default settings).  Your ISP or service of technical assistance of the manufacturer of the router may be able to help put this in place.  After that, how configure security entirely depends on the ISP, the router, the type of operating system you have, the type of internet connection you have and a number of other factors that I have no way to know, even if you told me that information.

    In fact, to see if this applies even, go to the Network Center and sharing, and click on manage wireless connections.  Select and double click on your network.  Click the Security tab and see if it is configured with the entries in the drop boxes first two points in the key with a password applies.  If it does not exist, then there is no security on your wireless router.  If there is, then your network is secure without doubt.

    When you see the active connection, click on start / all programs / accessories / and double click on Control Panel.  Type IPCONFIG/all and see if you can identify this other connection of the computer.  It should provide more information about it for the purpose of identification.

    If your router is not secure, you must fix and this should solve the problem.  If your router is secure, you should change the password/key of the router to see if that solves the problem (and then you will need to change the key to all your wireless computers and devices to match the new).  If it still does not work, then come back and we will come with some other ideas (assuming that the manufacturer of access provider or router cannot help you with this).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

Problem with Internet connection or Network Configuration problem.  After 5 minutes, or later, however, the screen came, but it is very slow to open web pages.

    This problem occurs most often during the night, however for the last two days, sometimes also during the day.

    Until this problem started out of blue, wireless connection with Comcast was very smooth-ride,... instantamously the homepage of popping up.

    Hints on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    This sounds like a problem with your Comcast service. In the United Kingdom, I would suggest that you run a speed test on your connection speed. You can get no doubt do the same wherever you are. While it could be the quality of your line, the calendar offers it's the volume of traffic from when children arrive home from school until they go to bed.

    You could compare notes with other Comcast customers.

    Edit 2: I found a solution for him in comparison to a second netbook we have. It was the type of connection, he was trying to do and unrelated to the problem that I had.

    Hello

    To make sure wireless encryption needs.

    There are a few types of wireless networks, and the response of PML due to a problem of the OP has the wrong configuration wireless for the network it is on.

    The wrong configuration mentioned in the thread is company 802.1 x, when it is off there is always a need of regular password to connect to a regular safe home wireless network. Which is probably what your wireless network comes with.

    I don't know what you're trying to connect to (or what you're doing), but apparently the connection you are looking at is safe and you must know the password.

    If not, tell us the story in details, so we can try to give you an answer rather guess.

  • EqualLogic group member network configuration error: "management interface should not be on the san subnet.

    Hello

    We currently have new EqualLogic 6100 device with this network configuration:

    Director of the IP - 192.168.0.2 (VLAN1).

    Member network config:
    eth0 - 192.168.0.3 (VLAN1)
    eth1 - 10.10.10.3 (VLAN2)
    eth2 - 10.10.10.4 (VLAN2)
    eth3 - 10.10.10.5 (VLAN2)
    ETH4 - empty

    I would attribute 192.168.0.4 to eth4, but received the error: "management interface should not be on the san subnet.

    I am sure that all interfaces eth has access to the VLAN1 and VLAN2, mean error indicates that eth4 should not access VLAN2 and only access the VLAN1 on the switch?

    Or eth0 should also have access to the VLAN2 only to reconfigure eth0 and eth4?

    Thank you

    > The group eating IP should be in iscsi VLANS?

    Yes!

    Note: If configure you an EQL it will ask an iSCSI port because nothing is more necessary to bring it up. The doest previous EQLs have a dedicated Mgmt Port and later, you can convert the last ethX as a MGMT port. This is the reason why configure you ISCSI at the beginning. (Think of a mixed group of newer and older models, and you get a picture)

    OK... once again it is the one and only member of the Group and there is making the production host connected to the right?

    The change of IP address, to a 3rd. subnet for temporary use.

    -Do not touch eth0-3 and the IP address of the group now

    -Configure the MGMT port and IP address management in the tempr group. Subnet. Use the Config-> Adv. Group-> network MGMT. You can change the MGMT Port of the Member, and the address IP of MGMT

    -For the registration of the configuration, you will lose access. You must place your admin PC in the templ. subnet so

    -Connect to the GroupMgr with temp again. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

    -Now you can change the IP address of group 10.10.10..x

    -Now you can change eth0 10.10.10.2

    -At the end, you can change the address IP of the Group MANAGEMENT, as well as the MGMT Port to 192.168.0.x

    -Change the IP address of your admin PC rear

    A failover, you should consider to hang a serial cable the active controller of the EQL. Use 9600,8,1, N with your favorite terminal program (putty.exe on windows). All the steps, you can perform from the command line.

    If this group and the only member not in production, but you can reset the config and restart from the beginning.

Thanks in advance.

    Address you internal IP is defined by the router or the ISP based on your configuration.  If you try to change the internal IP address using "static IP" you shouldn't have to enter a user name and password so that it is in configuration and fixed like that.

    You cannot change the external IP provided by your ISP it however.

  • Network Configuration operator: link to change speed

    Hello

    in my area of the company, we use laptops Windows 7 Professional with limited user rights. Some of our technicians need to change IP addresses to connect to devices of management, that's why we added them for the group 'Network Configuration operators. Some devices accept only connections with a certain speed (link speed & Duplex is set to "AutoDetect" as default), so the speed must also be defined by the technicians themselves.

    The problem is that for the 'Network Configuration Operators' group, the "Advanced" in "Network connection properties" tab is not visible. Is it possible to see the Advanced tab (or change the speed of connection & duplex) without administrative rights?

  • VLAN again added, problems detected on guests during the detection of new network configuration

    Hi all

    I started facing a strange problem trying to use a new VLAN configured in my vCenter environment...

    Basically, my system 'fight' to identify the new network label (VLAN) configured, leaving systems disconnected from the local network.

    This condition disappears only when I change the VM touched, assign a label of different network (VLAN), apply the changes and restart the process by configuring the new VLAN return.

    We will use an example to explain better:

    • I have a named Windows Server/Workstation VM: VM1
    • I have 2 VLANS configured in vCenter: VLAN50 and VLAN70

    VM1 is sitting on the VLAN50 and has the static IP address configured.

    I start the migration of the machine to a VLAN different, by editing the network settings of the operating system (IP, MASK, GW, DNS entries...) and replace the label of VM1 VLAN70 network.

    At this point, the machine NIC shows as if it could not connect to what in the network, although it is configured accordingly in order to communicate in the new subnet.

    I have change the VM again and change the label of a network VLAN different from VLAN70, click OK. Immediately, I change VM settings to assign in return the VLAN70.

    After that, the operating system recognizes the network successfully and starts working as expected...

    All of my virtual machines use VMXNET3 adapter and my version of vCenter is v5.5 build #2646482

    No idea what might happen?

    Concerning

    We found the problem...

    It was not associated with VMware, but a network configuration problem: (ESXi connected to two switches, one of them with the VLAN configured correctly and the other does not...).

    Thanks for the help
