1.1	Learn about management methods
	In-band management
	Management using the I/O connections between the host and the storage. The host must still
	have Ethernet capabilities.
	–	Access volume
		Used to communicate management requests and event information. An access volume is
		needed for only in-band management.
	Out-of-band management
	Management directly through the Ethernet connections on each controller using one of the
	network configurations from the following list (the command line interface CLI might be
	required):
	–	DHCP server
		Permits nodes to dynamically acquire network addresses.
	–	Ethernet IP address
		Permits direct connection to controller A or controller B by using an IP address in the
		form of xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy and xxx.xxx.xxx.yyz.
	–	Static IP address
		Recommended for out-of-band management using IPv4 networks.
	–	Router advertisements
		Recommended for out-of-band management using IPv6 networks.
	–	MAC address
		Associates the media address control (MAC) address (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) of each controller
		with an assigned IP address.
