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
Multiple Interfaces
on 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”.
 No need to determine the route to
send the reply packets

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
