The only ports used at the rear panel of the physical SVP are the power socket and the four LAN ports. The following ports connect to your IP network, the management console PC, and the user LAN port on each storage system controller.

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.
Note: The SVP's default MTU size is
1500.
After the Initial Startup Wizard is complete, the SVP can be used in non-bridge mode. In this mode, the cables can be removed from SVP ports LAN3 and LAN4 and attached to switches. For more information, contact customer support.
