More Networking

Each Appliance on the network needs an IP (Internet Protocol) address. Appliances containing two or more NICs (network interfaces cards), can have multiple IP addresses There are two methods of assigning an IP address to an appliance: using a DHCP server to automatically assign the appliance an IP address and specifying a static IP address. See your network administrator before modifying these settings.

Note It is recommended that you give the Appliance a static IP address or a non-expiring DHCP lease time.

Obtaining an IP Address from a DHCP Server

The appliance can be configured to receive an IP address from a DHCP server. To automatically assign an IP address to the Appliance, you must have a DHCP server attached to the network.

Note To enable load balancing in a multi-NIC server, at least two network cards must be both connected to, and properly configured on the same subnet. If you want to connect the appliance to multiple networks, the NICs should be both connected to, and properly configured on different subnets.
