Network Routing Options
UltraNet ConfigManager
When you perform the initial TCP/IP configuration using the UltraNet ConfigManager, the PC which has UltraNet ConfigManager installed on it, must be on the same LAN and subnet as the Ethernet maintenance interface.
Network Routing Options
When configuring the UltraNet Edge 3000, there are three possible network routing options; dedicated, load balancing, and fail over. Table
Each section that follows, provides a description of the way UltraNet
ConfigManager operates when that option is chosen.

| Dedicated | If Dedicated is selected for a FC/IP or Fibre Channel Switch interface |
|
| and is a 1x1 configuration, the Fibre channel interface is dedicated to |
|
| a single WAN interface. |
|
| If this option is selected for a Fibre Channel Switch interface and is a |
|
| 2x2 configuration, both Fibre Channel Switch ports are dedicated to a |
|
| single WAN interface. |
|
| If this option is selected for an FC/IP interface and is a 2x2 |
|
| configuration, the chassis is configured as two virtual 1x1s, each with |
|
| a single Fibre Channel interface, and a single WAN interface. Each |
|
| Fibre Channel interface is dedicated to a single WAN interface. If the |
|
| WAN experiences errors, increased latency, or decreased bandwidth, |
|
| the Fibre Channel interface dedicated to it is degraded. In this event, |
|
| the other dedicated Fibre Channel/WAN pair continues to run |
|
| without degradation. |
