You are installing a new VSP G700 and are using the Initial Setup Wizard (ISW) for the network configuration. Which set of IP addresses is configured with the ISW?

Question

Options

• AIP addresses of management ports
• BIP addresses of maintenance ports
• CIP addresses of all the ports
• DIP addresses of all the ports and of the SVP

• A
  76% (26)
• B
  12% (4)
• C
  9% (3)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

When using the Initial Setup Wizard on the VSP G700, you are specifically configuring the management ports - the dedicated network interfaces used for administrative access to the storage system. The ISW is scoped to this initial connectivity setup, not a full network configuration tool.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (maintenance ports) - Maintenance ports are physical service ports used for direct local access (e.g., laptop connection during on-site service); they are not configured via the ISW.
• C (all ports) - The ISW does not configure data/host ports (iSCSI, Fibre Channel, etc.); those are configured post-setup through the storage management software.
• D (all ports + SVP) - The SVP (Service Processor) IP is a separate configuration concern and is not part of the ISW workflow; conflating it here is a common trap.

Memory tip: Think of the ISW as the "front door key" - it only sets up the management network so you can get in to manage the system. Everything else (data ports, SVP) is configured once you're inside using the full management tools.
