Ethernet Ports
There are four or six gigabit Ethernet ports on the NX1011 depending on the type of NX1011 server you
have. Nexio servers that operate in a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment use Ethernet to keep all
nodes in sync with each other and to perform functions not carried out via the fibre channel ports
assigned to the network. The Ethernet ports are typically used for communications to the Nexio LAN or
for file transfer.
