Network Configuration (Bui) - Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Manual

Network Configuration
Devices - Physical network ports. These correspond to your physical network connections
■
or IP on InfiniBand (IPoIB) partitions.
Datalinks - The basic construct for sending and receiving packets. Datalinks may
■
correspond 1:1 with a device (that is, with a physical network port) or IB Partition, or
you may define Aggregation, VLAN and VNIC datalinks composed of other devices and
datalinks.
Interface - The basic construct for IP configuration and addressing. Each IP interface is
■
associated with a single datalink, or is defined to be an IP MultiPathing (IPMP) group
comprised of other interfaces.
Routing - IP routing configuration. This controls how the system will direct IP packets.

Network Configuration (BUI)

When using the BUI to reconfigure networking, the system makes every effort to preserve the
current networking connection to your browser. However, some network configuration changes
such as deleting the specific address to which your browser is connected, will unavoidably
cause the browser to lose its connection. For this reason it is recommended that you assign a
particular IP address and network device for use by administrators and always leave the address
configured. You can also perform particularly complex network reconfiguration tasks from the
CLI over the serial console if necessary.
