Basic Network Configuration
With basic network configuration, all physical Ethernet ports are
bonded together in a single network interface (logical port). All types of
network traffic (replication, management, and data) are routed over this
interface. Because there is only one network interface, only a single
group of network settings are required.
Note: To revert to the previous settings without making changes, click
Reset . For network changes to take effect, you must apply the
changes, finalize the confirmation, and reboot the system.
To perform basic network configuration:
