About NIC1 (eth0) port usage on NetBackup

appliances

By default, NIC1 (eth0) is factory set to IP address 192.168.229.233. This private

network address is reserved to provide a direct connection from a laptop to perform

the initial configuration. NIC1 (eth0) is typically not connected to your network

environment.

Once the initial configuration has been completed, you can connect NIC1 (eth0) to

an administrative network that does not provide any backup data transfer. However,

you may need to change the default IP address if your primary network uses the

same IP address range. NetBackup appliances do not support the use of any

network configuration in the same range as the default IP address for the

administrator interface on NIC1 (eth0).

For example, if NIC2 (eth1) is set to the 192.168.x.x IP address range, you must

change the default IP address of NIC1 (eth0) to a different IP address range.

To change the IP address for NIC1 (eth0) after the initial configuration has been

completed, do one of the following:

Downloading NetBackup client packages to a client from a NetBackup appliance

Downloading the NetBackup Administration Console to a Windows computer

from a NetBackup appliance
