Netcfg Configuration
Examples

CLI command options:
• --restart: Specifies whether to restart the system after restoring previous
network configuration.
• --sure: if specified, the command will execute and restart without asking for
confirmation.
Note that this command renders the following network commands unusable:
•
Enabling Jumbo Frames
•
Disabling Jumbo Frames
•
Getting Jumbo Frame Status
•
Setting Up a Segmented Network
•
Setting Up an Unsegmented Network
This section provides examples of advanced netcfg configurations and a brief
explanation of the syscli sequences that were used for each of the
configurations. These examples, which are intended for customer network
administrators, can vary depending on the customer network environment.
The following are some key points to remember:
• When using the CLI commands, there is no longer segmentation in the DXi.
Any traffic can come through any of the configured Ethernet ports.
Customers are responsible for controlling the routing of traffic (routers and
switches) using the network infrastructure.
• Use of the CLI commands require some understanding of network
configurations, and they must be used with caution.
• Bonded Ethernet ports must be connected to a switch, with the same link
aggregation setup (Round Robin or Link Aggregation Control Protocol).
The following netcfg configuration examples are not possible with the CLI GUI:
•
DXi 6540 Connected to Two Different Networks Through Two Bonds
•
DXi 6540 With Only Two Independent Ports Being Used
•
DXi 6540 With Three Bonds of Two Ports Each
•
DXi 6540 With One Bond and Two Independent Interfaces
•
DXI 6540/6550 With All Customer Interfaces Used Independently
•
Deleting a Bond and Setting Up Independent Interfaces
DXi 6540 Connected to Two Different Networks Through Two Bonds
The two bonds (bond0 and bond1) would inherit the same bonding mode set
by the GUI on the default single bond configuration. The bonded interfaces on
the DXi are connected to two different subnets; this may have two different
default gateways for the subnet.
