All port connections to the physical SVP are located at the rear of the SVP.

The management console must be able to access the SVP. Use Category 5 or higher Ethernet cables to connect to SVP.

Note: The SVP running Windows 10 operating system does not provide an option to disable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). If your network has BPDU enabled to prevent loops, connect the user LAN port on controllers 1 and 2 to an Ethernet switch that is also connected to the LAN1 port on the SVP.
  1. Connect the LAN1 port to a switch on your IP network.
    Note: If your network uses IP addresses 192.168.0.15-17, do not connect the LAN1 port to your switch until after you complete the Initial Startup.
  2. Connect the LAN2 port to a management console PC.
    Typically, this is a notebook PC.
  3. Connect the LAN3 port to the user LAN port on storage system controller 1.
  4. Connect the LAN4 port to the user LAN port on storage system controller 2.


    After you connect the physical SVP, you can set up an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection between the storage system and the SVP.
    Note: Creating private and public keys requires a dedicated program, OpenSSL. OpenSSL is installed along with Storage Navigator but not allowed to be used for different purposes. To use OpenSSL for SSL communication settings, download one from the OpenSSL website (http://www.openssl.org/).
