Configuring Network Interfaces - Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Manual

Changing the Multihoming Property to Strict (CLI)

Configuring Network Interfaces

Interfaces configure IP addresses via datalinks. They support the following:
IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
■
IPMP - IP MultiPathing, to improve network reliability by allowing IP addresses to
■
automatically migrate from failed to working datalinks.
For information on how to configure network interfaces, see
(CLI)" on page
The following interface settings are available:

"Configuring Network Interfaces
Description
Custom name for the interface
Enable this interface to be used for IP traffic. If an
interface is disabled, the appliance will no longer send or
receive IP traffic over it, or make use of any IP addresses
configured on it. At present, disabling an active IP
interface in an IPMP group will not trigger activation of
a standby interface.
Allow connections to the appliance administration BUI
or CLI over this interface. If your network environment
included a separate administration network, this could be
enabled for the administration network only to improve
security
Either "Static Address List" manually entered, or
"DHCP" for dynamically requested
One or more IPv4 addresses in CIDR notation
(192.168.1.1/24)
Either "Static Address List" manually entered, or "IPv6
AutoConfiguration" to use automatically generated link-
local address (and site-local if an IPv6 router responds)
One or more IPv6 addresses in CIDR notation (1080::8:
800:200C:417A/32)
Directly reachable subnet(s), expressed as an IP address
and mask in CIDR notation, that the local IP address is
not a member of, but to which the datalink of its interface
is physically connected. This improves scalability
by conserving IP addresses, and could ease traffic
congestion through core switches and routers.
Configure IP multipathing, where a pool of datalinks can
be used for redundancy
