Configuring your Network Settings

You can configure the network settings for your appliance.

1. Access Administration > Network Settings from the navigation menu.
2. In the Hostname field, enter the hostname for your machine.
3. Select a default gateway for your machine. Your gateway can be either IPv4 or IPv6.
4. If you have DNS servers, type their IP addresses in the DNS Server fields. Enter Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary IP addresses in the respective fields.
5. Click the number of Static Routes link or the Static Routes tab to view a list of static routes, see Viewing Static Routes.
6. In Interface Pairing, choose the interface associated with the appliance. Depending on the type of appliance you have and the selection you make in the Default Gateway IP, the available Interfaces options will be displayed.

   For your physical connections, see the TIBCO LogLogic^® Log Management Intelligence Hardware Installation Guide.

   Note: The eth0 port needs to be connected to the network because that is the only port configured on the appliance by default at startup. The other ports will not work unless the eth0 port is connected to the network.

   Options include:

   • pair > eth0 > and > eth1 > into > bond0 > (1U/2UR1 Appliances): Clear this check box to allow access to both eth0 and eth1. By default, the check box is selected, configuring the appliance to use bond0. This lets the two physical interfaces, eth0 and eth1, become one logical interface. For example, to connect the appliance to two separate networks, you must clear the check box and configure eth0 and/or eth1, remembering to set your Gateway Interface as appropriate.
   • pair eth1 and eth2 into bond0 (2U Appliances): Clear this check box to allow access to both eth1 and eth2. By default, the check box is selected, configuring the appliance to use bond0. This option allows up to five NICs.
   • pair eth2 and eth3 into bond0: Clear this check box to allow access to both eth2 and eth3. By default, the check box is selected, configuring the appliance to use bond0. This lets the two physical interfaces, eth2 and eth3, become one logical interface. For example, to connect the appliance to two separate networks, you must clear the check box and configure eth2 and/or eth3, remembering to set your Gateway Interface as appropriate.
   • pair eth4 and eth5 into bond1: Clear this check box to allow access to both eth4 and eth5. By default, the check box is selected, configuring the appliance to use bond1. This option allows up to five NICs.
   • pair eth4 and eth5 into bond2: Select this check box to allow access to both eth4 and eth5 as bond2. It makes the two physical interfaces, eth4 and eth5, become one logical interface. To connect the appliance to two separate networks, you must clear the check box and configure eth4 and/or eth5, remembering to set your Gateway Interface, IP address, and Netmask as appropriate

   • Enter the following in the Interfaces section:
   • For IPv4:
     • Network IP Address: IP address for the interface. IP address MUST be set.
     • Netmask: Netmask for the IP address. Netmask MUST be set.
     • Speed: Select the connection speed from the drop-down menu.
   • For IPv6:
     • Network IP Address: IP address for the interface. IP address MUST be set.
     • Prefix: Prefix for the IP address. Prefix MUST be set.
     • Speed: Select the connection speed from the drop-down menu.
     Warning: Once two appliances are HA-paired, no network settings should be changed.
7. Click Save to save your changes.
