Add an Interface
Note: Interfaces for virtual nodes, such as control system, virtual hosts,
and virtual machines, can only be added using the Virtualization tools
under Nodes > Virtualization. See
Configuring the Virtual
Infrastructure in CC-SG
(on page 112).
To add an interface:

to which you want to add an interface. In the Node Profile screen that
appears, click Add in the Interfaces section.
If you are adding a new node: click Add in the Interfaces section of
the Add Node screen.
The Add Interface Window opens.
2. Click the Interface Type drop-down menu and select the type of
connection being made to the node:
