3. Duplex LAN ConfigurationExpress5800/R320c-E4, R320c-M4 Maintenance Guide (VMware) 105Chapter 2 Configuring and Upgrading the System3. Duplex LAN ConfigurationThe operable network configuration is described here.3.1 Functional OverviewDuplicating a LAN is achieved by binding multiple adapters to the same virtual switch (NIC teaming). If anuplink adapter fails, it switches to another adapter to continue the operation.3.2 Operable Network ConfigurationFor NEC Express5800/ft series, network interface names are based on the naming convention as describedin the table below. Network duplication is achieved by pairing network interfaces of PCI slots in CPU/IOmodule 0 and network interfaces in the same PCI slots in CPU/IO module 1 (i.e. Two network interfaces arebound to a switch).In normal installation, the standard switch (vSwitch0) is set to vmnic100600 and vmnic110600 of Port #1 onOn Board (1 Gigabit), and network duplication is achieved.You can configure the setting of and check the network interfaces from Vsphere client.For more specific setting method, see VMware Vsphere document “ESXI Configuration Guide”.The network is disconnected for up to about one minute when network failure occurs.It is necessary to be used after carefully examining the setting of application and client.PCI slot and network interface namePCI slot Port CPU/IO module 0 CPU/IO module 1On Board (1 Gigabit) #1 vmnic100600 vmnic110600#2 vmnic100601 vmnic110601On Board (10 Gigabit) (*) #1 vmnic101200 vmnic111200#2 vmnic101201 vmnic111201PCI-e slot 1 #1 vmnic100100 vmnic110100#2 vmnic100101 vmnic110101PCI-e slot 2 #1 vmnic100200 vmnic110200#2 vmnic100201 vmnic110201PCI-e slot 3 (*) #1 vmnic100300 vmnic110300#2 vmnic100301 vmnic110301PCI-e slot 4 (*) #1 vmnic100400 vmnic110400#2 vmnic100401 vmnic110401* For R320c-M4 model only
