This arrangement requires:

•A Gigabit Ethernet network interface card (GbE NIC) with iSCSI support (in hardware or software)

•A network switch

•A network interface card (NIC) in the PC

Connect the GbE (iSCSI) NIC in your PC to one of the VTrak Data Ports to establish an isolated data path.

Connect the PC’s standard NIC and VTrak’s Management Port to your network switch to establish the management path.
