What is auto-negotiation?
Auto-negotiation is the ability of a network interface to automatically coordinate its own connection parameters (speed and duplex) with another network interface.
What is IPv6 stateless address auto-configuration?
With stateless auto-configuration, hosts do not obtain addresses and other configuration information from a server. Stateless auto-configuration in IPv6 features link-local addresses, multicasting, and the Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol. IPv6 can generate the interface ID of an address from the underlying data link layer address.
Which do I choose -- DHCP or manual configuration?
The default method for network configuration is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Always use this option unless your network does not have a DHCP server.
What is a DHCP server?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that automates the task of assigning an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
How do I configure my DHCP server?
You must configure a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to use static Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for the controllers in your storage array.
Where do I get the network configuration?
You can get the Internet Protocol (IP) address, subnetwork mask (subnet mask), and gateway information from your network administrator.
Why is the storage system in non-optimal mode?
A storage system in non-optimal mode is due to an Invalid System Configuration state. Despite this state, normal I/O access to existing volumes is fully supported; however, System Manager will prohibit some operations.
