The private network must be on a different subnet from the public LAN.

Advantages

Improved security: System management requires a connection to the private network.

Simplified network setup: All of the storage system ports are on the private network, so you need to assign only one set of addresses on a single subnet. A network administrator aware of all available addresses must assign any addresses required for the public network from a smaller pool.

Simplified troubleshooting: Since everything is on a dedicated private network, you have fewer variables to consider when issues arise.
