File serving interfaces

NA
S servers provide the following file serving physical interfaces:
Models 4040 and earlier
ge1 - ge6 - 1 GbE interfaces (RJ45)
tg1 - tg2 - 10 GbE interfaces (XFP)
Models 4060 / 4080 / 4100
tg1 - tg4 - 10 GbE interfaces (SFP+)
File serving physical interfaces enable network clients to access an EVS on the storage server. These interfaces are commonly added together in a link aggregation in order to increase redundancy and throughput of data.

Link aggregation

In a link aggregation, one or more file serving interfaces are grouped to form a single logical interface. This functionality can increase bandwidth capability and create resilient and redundant links. Aggregating multiple network links does not increase performance of a single client TCP connection but it does enable more individual connections to be served faster, by using more available links and also by reducing contention within a link. An aggregation also provides load balancing where the processing and communications activity is distributed across several links in a trunk. Therefore, aggregations provide higher link availability and increased Link Aggregation Group (LAG) capacity.
Note: All interfaces in an aggregation must be of the same t (either all 1 Gbps interfaces or all 10 Gbps interfaces).
An aggregation is assigned a unique MAC address which is different on each cluster node. Each aggregation can ha to configure an aggregation without any IP addresses, but this prevents communication through that interface. For example, in a cluster, an aggregation associated with an EVS appears on all nodes but is only active on the node that the EVS is running on because the EVS holds the IP address. If the EVS fails over onto another node, the IP address moves with the EVS, activating the aggregation on the new node.
The server supports static aggregations. It also supports the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for dynamic aggregations.

ype/speed
Using LACP
To view the status of an aggregation, navigate to the Link Aggregation page as shown below:
The serv uses to manage an individual link's transmission state (within a Link Aggregation Group). The server controls the LACP relationship between multiple switches. The server determines which network interfaces are in use and can bring up alternative network interfaces during a failure. For example, if the server does not receive any LACP messages from the primary switch (the waiting time is determined by the configured LACP timeout), the server can use the network interfaces connected to the secondary switch instead.
LACP aggregates are not automatically created or populated. The administrator must first create an aggregate interface, then enable LACP on that interface.
Note: The serv
LACP timeouts
The serv timers. A short timeout is three seconds (three x one second). A long timeout is 90s (three x 30 seconds). Therefore, the link times out after three missed messages. Long timeouts are recommended in order to upgrade upstream network devices without causing path failover on the server. The default setting is a short timeout.
er supports the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) which it
er always sends LACPDUs set to ACTIVE.
er supports both short (one second) and long (30 second) LACP
Typical LACP configurations
Here are three typical configurations when using LACP with NAS servers:
• Split-LAG with Layer-2 redundancy
• Split-LAG with Layer-2 redundancy and increased bandwidth
16 Network interfaces
Hitachi NAS Platform Network Administration Guide
• Split-LAG with a single logical switch
Note: The serv
ers are always in LACP Active mode while the switches can be
configured in active or passive LACP mode.
Split-LAG with Layer-2 redundancy
When LACP is enabled, it is possible to have a scenario where a pair of clustered NAS servers are connected to a pair of switches configured with one link aggregation (over two file-serving interfaces) as shown in the example below:
This scenario provides basic Layer-2 redundancy on the NAS servers.
Note: Static aggregation is not supported in a split
-LAG scenario.
Split-LAG with Layer-2 redundancy and increased bandwidth
This scenario includes a link aggregation o
ver four file-serving interfaces for increased bandwidth and increased standby links as shown in the example below:
Network interfaces 17
Hitachi NAS Platform Network Administration Guide
Single logical switch with Layer-2 redundancy and increased bandwidth
This scenario includes a pair or switches connected in such a w
ay as to appear as one logical switch. The NAS servers are configured with a link aggregation over four file-serving interfaces as shown in the example below:

Hitachi NAS Platform Network Administration Guide

VLAN interfaces

A ph
ysical network can be partitioned into multiple, isolated distinct
broadcast domains called virtual LANs or VLANs.
An HNAS server can provide access to a VLAN using a VLAN interface on an aggregate interface. Administrators can create a VLAN interface for each tagged VLAN for each aggregate interface over which the HNAS needs to communicate. For example, VLAN 1 on ag1 is different from VLAN 1 on ag2.
Note: If an address is assigned to a VLAN interface, the serv untagged packets for that address. Therefore, do NOT create a VLAN interface for the native or otherwise untagged VLAN, as it can result in a loss of connectivity.

Non-file serving interfaces

A NA
S server provides two 10/100/1000 Ethernet non-file serving interfaces
as follows:
eth1
Network interfaces 19

er discards
eth0
These interfaces use standard RJ45 connectors.
The serv We recommend a 1Gbps speed for the switch uplink port for the non-file serving interface with full duplex, bi-directional flow control enabled.
eth1
This interface is mandatory and enables users to communicate with the SMU, any auxiliary devices and the non-file serving interfaces of other HNAS servers. During initial setup of the HNAS server, this interface is configured with an IP address. This interface can also be configured with a separate cluster node IP address if the server is intended to be part of a cluster.
eth0
This interface is optional and enables the user to configure file services on the server as well as create and configure Enterprise Virtual Servers (EVSs). For example, when using SyncDR, the Admin EVS needs to be on eth0.
During initial setup of the HNAS server, this interface is configured with an IP address. Connecting to the HNAS server using this IP address enables direct access to the server management interface and provides the user with a command line interface. See the CLI Reference manual for available commands.
er uses auto-negotiation for speed/duplex/flow control by default.
It is necessary for eth0 to be connected (and therefore in use by the Admin EVS) for the following features:
• V2I
• VASA Provider
• Data Migrator to Cloud (DM2C)
• Using an internal SMU

Using Network and Port Address Translation

In order to minimiz can be located on a private management network and use Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) to communicate between the two networks. For example, an HTTP request for a device in a private management network is made to a public network on the server's eth0 interface, on a NAT port. The server then translates this request to the IP address and actual HTTP port of the device on the private management network.
e data traffic on a public file-serving network, the server
20 Network interfaces
Hitachi NAS Platform Network Administration Guide
Note: The IP address range of a private management network can only include IP addresses which share the first three octets of the serv network IP address. For example, for an server IP address of 192.0.2.1, devices on the private management network must have addresses in the range of 192.0.2.2 - 192.0.2.254.
As the server supports mixed systems, It is also possible for some or all auxiliary devices to be located on a public file-serving network. This enables some devices to be located on a private management network, and others on a public file-serving network.

Aggregate Linux interfaces

The NAS server provides the ability to access the file serving interfaces (agX) from Linux, using a virtual Linux network interface (eth-agX), which is bound to a specific agX interface as shown below:
er's eth1
Network interfaces 21
Hitachi NAS Platform Network Administration Guide
Using an Aggregate Linux interface (instead of eth0 or eth1) provides a potentially faster route for data and management traffic. It also enables the non-file serving interfaces (eth0 and eth1) and the file serving aggregations to be physically separate while providing Linux access to both sets of interfaces.
Example
For the scenario below:

For information on how to manage the eth-agX interfaces, see the following CLI commands:
• aggregate-linux-interfaces
• aggregate-linux-interface-show
• aggregate-linux-interface-create
• aggregate-linux-interface-delete
over ag1 as shown below:

Typical non-file serving interface configurations

There are three typical configurations for NAS non-file serving interfaces:
• Single NAS server (embedded SMU)
• Single NAS server (external SMU)
• Clustered NAS servers (external SMU)
Single NAS server (internal SMU)
In this configuration, the NAS uses an internal SMU where eth1 is connected to the private management network and eth0 is connected to the public management network.

Jumbo frames support

All file serving interfaces of a serv enable transmission of Ethernet frames with a payload larger than 1500 bytes and these frames co-exist with standard frames on an Ethernet network.
er support jumbo frames. Jumbo frames
All file serving interfaces receive jumbo frames unconditionally, without any configuration changes. It is possible to configure a file serving interface to transmit jumbo frames by specifying an MTU size of between 1,501 and 9,600 bytes.
To use jumbo frame transmission, configure the following settings:
• IP MTU for off-subnet transmits - bytes
• TCP MTU
• Other Protocol MTU
Caution: Networking equipment lacking the jumbo frames extension can drop jumbo frames and record an oversize packet error. Before configuring jumbo frame transmission, verify that all network equipment along the route (and at each end point) supports jumbo frames. If you enable jumbo frames and either network equipment or clients on the subnet do not support jumbo frames, it is possible to experience a loss of communication with the server/ cluster.
Successful IP data transmission using jumbo frames depends on the destination IP address or sub-network. The maximum MTU siz
e for a

The IP MTU in use is the lowest of:
The interface IP MTU setting
• Any IP MTU specified by the selected route
• Any IP MTU specified by the MTU command
The recommended MTU size is 8972 bytes (in order to compensate for the IP and ICMP headers).

26 Routing overview
Hitachi NAS Platform Network Administration Guide

Default gateways

The serv connected to multiple IP networks, add a default gateway for each network to which the server is connected. This configuration allows the server to direct traffic through the appropriate default gateway by matching source IP addresses specified in outgoing packets with the gateway on the same subnet.
With multiple default gateways, the server routes IP traffic logically, reducing the need to specify static routes for every network that connects with a particular server.

Static routes

Static routing provides a fixed path for data in a network. When a server on a network is connected to additional networks through a router, communication between that server and the remote networks can be enabled by specifying a static route to each network.
Static routes are set up in a routing table. Each entry in the table consists of a destination network address, a gateway address, and a subnet mask. Entries for static routes in the server’s routing table are persistent, meaning that, if a server is restarted, the route table preserves the static routing entries.
er supports multiple default gateways for routing IP traffic. When
The NAS server supports gateway, network and host static routes. The Default option sets up a gateway and does not require a destination. Select the Network option to set up a route to address all of the computers on a specific network. Select the Host option to address a specific computer on a different network. The maximum possible number of static routes is 127 (default gateways also count against this total).
In most cases, for IPv6, it is not necessary to statically configure gateways as they are automatically discovered through the received router advertisements.

Dynamic routes

The NAS server supports ICMP redirects and RIP versions 1 and 2, which enable it to dynamically add routes to its route table.
