About network management

You can perform network-related operations in the Settings > Network panel. You can find the details of the network settings for the data network, management network, appliance management console, DNS, and the IPMI network for the cluster.

The data network that is created during the initial configuration is the primary network and the new data networks added by the user after the initial configuration are the secondary data networks.

Network > Data Network displays the data networks configured in the cluster. You can add new secondary data networks and modify or delete existing secondary data networks. You can perform interface bonding at the time of initial configuration or after cluster configuration. You can also create a bond of interfaces, modify the existing bond modes and Maximum Transmission Value (MTU), display current bond mode and remove bond(s). There may be network disruptions when you perform bonding operations.
