When setting up the network configuration on a 7000-series system, what does the term ‘datalink’
refers to?
A.
IP partitions
B.
Configuring IP addresses
C.
Managing devices utilized by interfaces
D.
Connecting a target to a LUN
E.
Linking multiple IP addresses to sources
Explanation:
Datalinks
These manage devices, and are used by interfaces. They support:
*VLANs – Virtual LANs to improve local network security and isolation.
*LACP – Link Aggregation Control Protocol, to bundle multiple network devices to behave as one.
This improves performance (multiplies bandwidth) and reliability (can survive network port failure),
however the appliance must be connected to a switch that supports LACP and has it enabled for
those ports.
*IB Partitions – Infiniband partitions to connect to logically isolated IB fabric domains.
