Configuring your Network Settings

From the Administration > Network Settings page, you can configure the network settings for your appliance.

Note: In an AWS environment, changing the value of the fields on the Administration > Network Settings page might cause the appliance to become unresponsive. Do not change the value in these fields.

Procedure

  1. Go to Administration > Network Settings.
  2. On the Configuration tab, enter the following information:
    Field Description
    Hostname Enter the hostname for your machine.
    Note: Do not change the hostname for LogLogic EVA running in an AWS environment.
    Default Gateway Select a default gateway for your machine. Your gateway can be either IPv4 or IPv6.

    IPv4 uses 32 binary bits to create a single unique address on the network. An IPv4 address is expressed by four numbers separated by dots. Each number is the decimal (base-10) representation for an eight-digit binary (base-2) number, for example: 10.114.75.2

    IPv6 uses 128 binary bits to create a single unique address on the network. An IPv6 address is expressed by eight groups of hexadecimal (base-16) numbers separated by colons, as in
    2001:cdba:0000:0000:0000:0000:3257:9652
    Groups of numbers that contain all zeros are often omitted to save space, leaving a colon separator to mark the gap (as in 2001:cdba::3257:9652).
    Primary DNS server,

    Secondary,

    Tertiary,

    (Optional) If you have DNS servers, type their IP addresses in the DNS Server fields. Enter the primary, secondary, and tertiary IP addresses in the respective fields.
    <x> v4 static routes

    <y> v6 static routes

    Click the number of static routes link or go to the Static Routes tab to view a list of static routes.
  3. 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 fields, the available options are displayed in the Interfaces section.
    For physical connections, see the TIBCO LogLogic® Log Management Intelligence Hardware Installation Guide.
    Note:
    • The eth0 port must be connected to the network because that is the only port configured on the appliance by default at startup. The other ports do not work unless the eth0 port is connected to the network.
    • Do not change any network settings after two appliances are paired in an HA setup.
    • When multiple interfaces are configured, it is recommend to use different networks for each interface.

    The following interface options are available:

    Check box Action Description
    pair eth0 and eth1 into bond0 (1U/2UR1 Appliances) By default, the check box is selected, configuring the appliance to use bond0. Clear the check box to allow access to both eth0 and eth1. Clearing the check box 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) By default, the check box is selected, configuring the appliance to use bond0. Clear this check box to allow access to both eth1 and eth2. This option allows up to five NICs.
    pair eth2 and eth3 into bond0 (For TIBCO LogLogic® ST2025-SANR1 Appliance models) By default, the check box is selected, configuring the appliance to use bond0. Clear this check box to allow access to both eth2 and eth3. Clearing the check box 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 (For TIBCO LogLogic® ST2025-SANR1 Appliance models) By default, the check box is selected, configuring the appliance to use bond1. Clear this check box to allow access to both eth4 and eth5. 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. To connect the appliance to two separate networks, clear the check box and configure eth4 and/or eth5, and remember to set your Gateway Interface, IP address, and Netmask as appropriate. Selecting the check box makes the two physical interfaces, eth4 and eth5, become one logical interface.
  4. Enter the following information 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 list.
    • 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 list.
    Note: The speed field is not available in LogLogic EVA.
  5. Click Save to save your changes.

What to do next

If your changes require a reboot, click Reboot Now or Reboot Now as applicable for the changes to take effect.
