NetBackup 5330 compute node Ethernet port configurations

All NetBackup 5330 Appliances include the following ports, which are embedded along the base of the rear panel:

  • 1-GbE ports: eth0, eth1, eth2, and eth3

  • 10-GbE ports: eth4 and eth5

By default, NIC1 (eth0) is factory set to IP address 192.168.229.233. This private network address is reserved to provide a direct connection from a laptop to perform the initial configuration. NIC1 (eth0) is typically not connected to your network environment.

Once the initial configuration has been completed, you can connect NIC1 (eth0) to an administrative network that does not provide any backup data transfer.

The rear panel of the NetBackup 5330 compute node contains six PCIe slots, which are populated according to five different supported configurations. The PCIe slot configuration determines the total number of Ethernet ports that are available.

The following picture shows the location of all Ethernet ports on the rear panel of the compute node, including the PCIe card-based ports.

For a NetBackup 5330 high availability (HA) configuration, Veritas requires that you reserve the NIC3/eth2 and NIC4/eth3 ports to connect the two nodes. Do not connect these ports to a network.

The 10-Gb Ethernet network interface cards that are installed in the PCIe slots contain additional ports. The number of ports depends on the PCIe slot configuration of your compute node.

Table: NetBackup 5330 compute node PCIe Ethernet port configurations shows the available Ethernet ports for each PCIe slot configuration.
