Note:
After you apply a
Custom
network configuration, the
Basic
and
Segmented
options are no longer available. To change to
a
Basic
or
Segmented
configuration, you must first undo the
Custom
configuration by clicking
Undo Custom
. This action
deletes all custom network settings and reverts to the
Basic
network configuration. After the DXi reboots, you can proceed
with configuring the
Basic
or
Segmented
network option.
Physical Ports Layout
The
Physical Ports Layout
section at the bottom of the
Network
page
displays a graphical representation of the Ethernet ports as they appear
on the rear of the system.
The grid indicates how the Ethernet ports are bonded using the settings
currently selected in the
IP Address Configuration > Bonding Details
section. Ports that are bonded together in an interface are shaded the
same color.
Note:
Changes to the network settings are not applied to the system
until you click
Apply
.
Segmented Network Configuration
With
Segmented
network configuration, you can select one of several
bonding scenarios. When multiple physical Ethernet are bonded
together, they act as a single network interface (logical port). Each
scenario uses segmentation to route different types of network traffic
(replication, management, and data) over different network interfaces.
In addition, each type of traffic uses its own set of network settings.
Segmentation can provide performance and security advantages for
some networks. Performance is improved because there are fewer hosts
on the segmented network, which minimizes local traffic. Security is
improved because the data traffic is contained on this segment and is
not visible to the outside network.
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.
