If
TLS with AES 256
is selected, the factory installed certificates are inadequate for security. The
factory installed certificates should be considered public domain and are provided only for
convenience. You must install new certificates for secure encryption.
l
TLS with AES 256
must be enabled for this encryption option to appear (see
).
Caution:
For encryption, select
None
or
128-bit
if you are sending data to a DXi running a system
software version prior to DXi 2.1 Software.
4. In the
Source IP Address
box, 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
.
Additional Information
l
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.
l
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 299
).

6. Under
Target DXis
, select the target and click
Resume
to pause replication.
Deleting a Replication Target
Delete a replication target if the DXi4700 no longer needs to send replicated data to that target. After the
target system is deleted, the DXi4700 will no longer send replicated data to that system.
When a target is deleted:
l
All replication jobs to that target that are in progress or queued will transition to failed.
l
All replication job history for that combination of target and share or partition is removed.
l
All share or partition will be reconfigured to no longer replicate to that target.
To delete a replication target:
