Scenario 2: Leverage one bonded interface for management, replication and OST traffic and
6.3.1.4
another for backup traffic
Robert has a DR4100 with firmware 2.1, 2x 10GB interfaces and 2x 1GB interfaces. He wishes to use the 1GB interfaces
for replication, management and OST traffic. He wants to use the 10GB interfaces for backup traffic only. Robert will
need to do the following to accomplish his goals:
• Verify that all interfaces are detected by the DR appliance.
• Issue a factory reset with default bonding set to the 1GB interfaces. This will ensure that the faster interfaces
are not used for bond0.
• Create a bond for the 10GB interfaces.

Note: Make sure all 1G interfaces are plugged in and can have an IP address via DHCP. If there is no DHCP server
available on the 1G network, then once the system comes up after step-2, a static IP has to be assigned to the 1G
bonded interface and a 'network --restart' command should be executed for the system to be back in 'Operational
mode'. Bond0 should always have an IP address for the system to be in operational state.
