SYNOPSIS
Configure IPAddress Netmask GatewayIPAddress [InterfaceNames] [BondingMode]
DESCRIPTION
You can use the Configure command to configure the IP address of a single interface on the network that you want to connect your appliance to. When you use this command, you need to define the IP address, the netmask address, and the gateway address.
If multiple interfaces with separate IP addresses are used, use the Network > IPv4 or the Network > IPv6 commands to configure each network interface individually.
Use the Network > Gateway command to add the routing information for default route or to add route for VLAN interfaces.
Caution:
If you have an operational NetBackup 53xx high availability configuration, do not make the following changes on the public network interface card (NIC):
Change the IPv4 address.
Create any bond with the IPv6 address.
OPTIONS
- Configure IPAddress Netmask GatewayIPAddress [InterfaceNames] [BondingMode]
Configure the IP address and default gateway for the appliance. The command configures the IP address and sets the default gateway.
Where IPAddress is the IPv4 or IPv6 address, Netmask is the netmask, GatewayIPAddress is the default gateway IP address, and [InterfaceNames] is the name of the device.
This device can be a physical interface, a bond, or a VLAN interface.
Remember that you should not use both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address in the same command. For example, you cannot use Configure 9ffe::9 255.255.255.0 1.1.1.1.. You should use Configure 9ffe::46 64 9ffe::49 eth1 to configure an interface using IPv6 address.
In the [InterfaceNames] field the following applies:
If you enter a single interface name, then the IP address is configured on that device.
If you enter a comma-separated list of interface names, then a bond is created and the IP address is configured on the bonded device. You must ensure that the interfaces that comprise the list are of same type, either
or ). In addition, the interfaces must support the same speed and at least one of the interfaces in the list is cabled.If you do not enter an interface name, the best possible interface or interfaces are selected based on the port type (
or ), speed, and the link status.
You define the bonding mode in the BondingMode field. You can enter one of the following modes:
balance-rr
active-backup
balance-xor
broadcast
802.3ad
balance-tlb
balance-alb (This bonding mode is the default value.)
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to configure your appliance network settings:
Network > Configure 10.180.2.3 255.255.255.0 10.180.2.1 eth1
The following examples show how to configure your appliance using the Auto selection, specifying a specific interface, or multiple interfacing and creating a bond.
Specify explicit interfaces such as eth2 and eth3 to create a bond. For this example, you provide the IPAddress, NetMask, Gateway IPAddress, interface names, and the bonding mode, in that order.
Network > Configure 10.180.2.3 255.255.255.0 eth2,eth3 balance-alb
You can also create a bond and configure it using IPv6 addresses:
Network > Configure 9ffe::207 64 9ffe::49 eth,eth3
