Media Flow Controller Administrator's Guide
Example: Media Flow Controller Interface Configuration
When Media Flow Controller initializes, the on-board Ethernet interfaces are numbered Eth0,
Eth1, and so on. When a NIC, dual- or quad- port, is attached to the server, the 1st NIC (goes
by PCI channel number) gets interface names Eth10, Eth11, and so on to Eth19. Second NIC
gets the names Eth20, Eth21, and so on to Eth29; it is assumed that only up to 10 Ethernet
interfaces per NIC exist.
See
Table 6, "Example Machine Setup of Management and Traffic Ports,"

mappings, all interface assignments are handled automatically during manufacturing.

•
Eth 0: Running SNMP, sending analytics to another machine, Web management, SSH,
and Telnet; connected to your internal network.
•
Eth 1: Upstream fetching content from origin; connected to the network that connects to
the origin server.
•
Eth 2 - 5: Service traffic; connected to the public Internet. These interfaces must have IP
addresses.
