FTP.

HTTP.
When you create a virtual host on the Create Vhost dialog box or with the
ibrix_httpvhost
command, specify the VIF as the IP address that clients should use to access

X9000 clients.
Use the following command to prefer the appropriate user network. Execute the
command once for each destination host that the client should contact using the specified interface.
ibrix_client -n -h SRCHOST -A DESTNOST/IFNAME
For example:
ibrix_client -n -h client12.mycompany.com -A ib50-81.mycompany.com/bond1
NOTE:
Because the backup NIC cannot be used as a preferred network interface for X9000
clients, add one or more user network interfaces to ensure that HA and client communication work
together.
Configuring link state monitoring for iSCSI network interfaces
Link state monitoring is supported only for iSCSI network interfaces. To configure link state
monitoring, use the following command:
ibrix_nic -N -h HOST -A IFNAME
To determine whether link state monitoring is enabled on an iSCSI interface, run the following
command:
ibrix_nic -l
Next, check the LINKMON column in the output. The value
yes
means that link state monitoring
is enabled;
no
means that it is not enabled.
