Note: To use hostname format, you must specify at least one
DNS IP address on the Network page (see Network on
page 366).
b In the Source IP Address field, enter the IP address that is used
to uniquely identify the source DXi to the target. This may be
different than the actual network IP address of the source DXi.
If the target system is at DXi 2.1 Software or higher, this field is
not required. If the target system is at DXi 2.0.1.x Software or
below, then you must enter the IP address by which the target
system recognizes the source system. The default value is
0.0.0.0 .
c (Optional) Leave the Encrypt data before replication check
box selected to enable encryption when sending replication
data to the target system. Or clear the Encrypt data before
replication check box to disable encryption when sending
replication data to the target system.
If encryption is enabled, select an encryption strength (
128-bit
or
256-bit
). Using 256-bit encryption (default) provides a
stronger level of security but may have an impact on system
performance in some situations.
Caution: Select 128-bit encryption if you are sending data to
a DXi running a system software version prior to
DXi 2.1 Software.
Note: Encryption is enabled by default. However, for best
performance, if your data network is already secured,
you should clear the
Encrypt data before replication
check box.
2 If data on other DXi systems will be replicated to this DXi8500, enter
the following information under Source DXis :
a In the Source Hostnames or IP Addresses box, enter the
hostname or IP address of the system that will send the
replicated data to the DXi8500.
To enter multiple sources, press
<Enter> after each entry. You
can specify up to 10 replication sources.
