IMPORTANT: The VNX Storage Processor’s Service LAN ports are not always connected to an internal
switch. The VNX5200, VNX5400, VNX5600, VNX5700, VNX5800, VNX7500, VNX7600 and VNX8000
Service LAN ports are internally switched, but the VNX5100, 5300 and 5500 are not internally switched.
IMPORTANT: See the CAUTION below before attaching any cables to the Service LAN ports.
The Service LAN of the two SPs in every VNX series storage system has the following factory-set IP
addresses:
SP-A: 128.221.1.250 (Service LAN port on SP-A SAN Management Module)
SP-B: 128.221.1.251 (Service LAN port on SP-B SAN Management Module)
Note: The storage system’s internal network (Service LAN) is mutually exclusive from the customer’s
main management ports on the Storage Processor (SP).
2. [ ] Navigate to your Network Connections and select your Local Area Connection (Figure 1), the
physical LAN cable port on your laptop.
3. [ ] On the TCP/IP Properties page, click the Use the following IP address radio button.
4. [ ] Set your laptop’s TCP/IP properties to the following IPs:
IP address: 128.221.1.249
Subnet mask 255.255.255.248
Default Gateway – 128.221.1.1

Note: The VNX5200, VNX5400, VNX5600, VNX5700, VNX5800, VNX7500, VNX7600 and VNX8000
Service LAN ports are internally switched. A single connection to one SP will allow communication to
both SPs.
CAUTION: Never connect a switch or hub between the two Service LAN Ports on any
VNX5200, VNX5400, VNX5600, VNX5700, VNX5800, VNX7500, VNX7600 and VNX8000 storage
system. Use a single cable for a connection with a hub or a direct connection from your laptop
to the Service LAN port. Connecting 2 cables with a Hub to both Service LAN ports will cause
a network storm and panic the array. If this problem occurs, promptly remove the Ethernet
cables. Reseat the Management Module if the port appears not to function. The Management
Modules are hot-swappable and may be removed and reseated without affecting the array’s
operation. Refer to Primus emc199379.
