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, the
Source IP
Address
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
.
Note:
The
Source IP Address
field does not accept fully qualified
domain names. You must enter a valid IP address. Make
sure this IP address is configured in the allowable sources
list on the target DXi.
Note:
When configuring segmented network interfaces, if the
source DXi replication, data, and management interfaces
are on the same subnet, you must add a host route on the
source DXi to make sure the replication interface is
correctly selected when replicating data to the target DXi
(see
Understanding Interface Routing
on page 378).

(Optional) Leave the
Use Encryption
check box selected to enable
encryption when sending replication data to the target system. Or
clear the
Use Encryption
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
Use Encryption
check box.
5
(Optional) Select the
Enable system throttling
check box to enable
a constant replication throttle for the system. Or clear the
Enable
