Which ports are used by default for replication on a FlashArray//XR4?

TheFlashArray//XR4maintains the standard port assignment convention established in previous generations for its onboard Ethernet interfaces.

ETH2 and ETH3are the default ports designated forReplicationtraffic.

ETH0 and ETH1are reserved for Management.

ETH2 and ETH3are configured by Purity defaults to handle the heavy bandwidth of asynchronous or synchronous replication.

While these assignments can be modified in software, the physical ports labeled eth2 and eth3 on the rear of the chassis are the intended primary interfaces for this function. Implementation Engineers should cable these ports to the replication network switches during the initial install.
