1. To use the Web Admin, connect with a Web browser to http://<hostname or IP
address of your StorEdge>.
2. Click “Grant” or “Yes” to accept any Java software authorization windows and
you will reach the login screen.
3. Type the administrator password to access the administration interface.
4. Navigate to Unix Configuration/Configure Name Service. Therein you will find
tabs for users, hosts, hostgrps and netgroups.
5. For each tab, move desired lookup services from the “Services Not Selected” to
the “Services Selected” column by highlighting them and clicking the right arrow.
Remove services which are not desired by highlighting them and clicking the left
arrow. Edit the lookup order by selecting a service in the “Services Selected”
column and clicking the up or down arrows. The services will be queried from top

What is port aggregation?
Port aggregation gives you the flexibility to scale your network I/O in port
aggregation or to provide NIC port redundancy in high availability.
Port Aggregation is also known as “channel bonding” or "trunking." This type of
bonding lets you scale network I/O by joining adjacent NIC ports. It forms a single
network channel of high bandwidth from two or more channels of lower bandwidth.
You must have a minimum of two available NIC ports for port bonding, and they
must be of the same interface type (e.g., Fast Ethernet with Fast Ethernet).
StorEdge’s port aggregation uses Cisco’s Fast EtherChannel architecture. The switch
must support EtherChannel bonding, all NICs must be connected to the same
switch, and the ports must be specifically configured for EtherChannel. Please refer
to the switch user manual for details on how to set up EtherChannel bonding.
High Availability port bonding provides NIC port redundancy or failover. More than
one NIC port is bonded to a primary port as backup ports. If the primary port fails,
the StorEdge switches over to the backup port that is first on the list of "high
availability" bonded ports. If that port also fails, the port next on the list is used and
so on.
