• Two independent network interfaces.
You must connect the interfaces to physically different networks.
• The two network interfaces combined as a bond interface.
The bond interface can use:
◦ Active backup mode.
◦ 802.3ad mode (requires a switch that supports 802.3ad).
You can configure the nShield Connect using the front panel Network config menu, or by
pushing a configuration file to the nShield Connect over the network. The initial set up of
the nShield Connect must be done using the front panel. The following can be
configured:
• Interface addresses
• Bond
• Default gateway
• Network routes
• Network speed.
If the nShield Connect is already configured, you can update the displayed values.
If you ever change any of the IP addresses on the nShield Connect, you must update the
configuration of all the clients that work with it to reflect the new IP addresses.
By default, the hardserver listens on all interfaces. However, you can
choose to set specific network interfaces on which the hardserver

listens. This may be useful in cases such as if one of the Ethernet
interfaces is to be connected to external hosts. See the User Guide for
more information.
9.2.1.1. IPv4 and IPv6
Support for IPv6 is in addition to IPv4. Both Ethernet interfaces can be configured to
support:
• IPv4 only
• IPv4 and IPv6
• IPv6 only.
Interface#1 is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Interface #2 is

disabled by default and can be enabled and disabled.
