SonicOSX 7 Getting Started Guide for NSsp 15700
Network Configuration
Although the X0, X1 ...X15 front panel interfaces support up to 10Gb SFP+ operation, they may be setup for 1Gb operation.
The Root Instance for multibladed operation has reserved use of X0 through X3. Interface ports X4 and up can be reserved for multiinstances. Note that to reach the license manager and receive a DHCP address, the instances must have their own path to the Internet.
Each instance can support up to 8 virtual ports: X0...X7. X1 on each instance needs to connect to a front panel port with access to a DHCP server or assign static IP address. While adding a new instance, on the interface configuration tab, configure the instance X1 so that it is mapped to a front panel port and VLAN ID that is setup with WAN access. This is necessary for both cases (Static and Dynamic IP address assignment).
For static IP configuration, choose an IP in the LAN network that is not in use. For example, if the DHCP server uses a start range from 10.206.52.10 to 10.206.52.200, then use an IP below the range or above the range, but not the Broadcast (10.206.52.255) or Gateway IP (for example, 10.206.52.100) address.
For details on configuring management IP addresses, see Configure IP Addresses from the CLI. The X0 and X1 ports can be configured through SonicOSX GUI at NETWORK | System > Interface > Interface Settings.
SafeMode access is through the top AUX MGMT port to the Management (Blade 1) port. Refer to the illustration in Rear Panel.
