FTP.
When you add an FTP share on the Add FTP Shares dialog box or with the
ibrix_ftpshare
command, specify the VIF as the IP address that clients should use to access the share.
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
shares associated with the Vhost.
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.
Support for link state monitoring
Do not configure link state monitoring for user network interfaces or VIFs that will be used for CIFS
or NFS. Link state monitoring is supported only for use with iSCSI storage network interfaces, such
as those provided with X9300 Gateway systems.
