Setup/IP
The IP category lets you configure all the parameters related to the IP
network.
It is divided into six main areas.
Network interface profiles
Figure 3-126. Network interface profiles
The physical interfaces are the NIC of the hardware platform. A logical
interface can be a bond (aggregation of 2 physical interfaces) or can be
directly associated to a single physical interface.

Each Network interface profile applied to a configurable set of nodes
define the logical interfaces, and their relations to the physical interfaces.

The logical interface is then used in the IP setup to configure LAN.
Pre-defined profiles are automatically created and linked to Harmonic
on-the-shelf hardware platform (server 1U platform, server 6U platform,
server 10U platform) when present in the Electra VS. These network
interfaces profiles cannot be modified.
Network interface profile are also automatically created each time you
integrate a new hardware platform type in the system automatically
detecting the physical interfaces detected on the platform.
You can create new profiles, or duplicate the off-the-shelf platforms
