Configuring Virtual Interfaces

This section describes virtual interface configuration. You may configure up to 16 virtual interface groups for every primary port on a server. The primary ports (ports like eth0/eth1 as opposed to eth0:2) cannot be deleted or changed. The primary ports have DNS names and they might be the primary interface of the device. IP addresses are allocated and displayed for all connected interfaces. Allocate IP addresses on a particular subnet on a server by drawing a wire from a subnet to the interface connection point. In order to submit the farm, all servers must have their eth0 interface allocated. Additionally, if any virtual interface on a primary port is allocated, the primary interface must also be allocated.

The following procedure describes configuration of virtual ports by using the Editor screen in the Control Center.
