Updates the network and data-path interfaces for the Oracle FS System.

Management Interface

Enable DHCP

Indicates whether you have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server that automatically assigns IP addresses to network clients. This setting makes the Oracle FS System known to the DHCP software.

Static IP Address

Identifies whether to assign a permanent IP address to the Oracle FS System Pilot. Choose this option if you do not use DHCP.

Note: Selecting this option enables the Public Interface fields.

Transmit Setting

Important! Use care when setting the transmit speed and duplex mode. If your external network does not support the management interface setting, a loss of access to the Pilot could result. If access is lost, contact Oracle Customer Support for assistance.

Select from the drop-down list the speed and duplex mode that you want the Pilot management interface to use.

Note: Auto negotiate is the default transmit setting. We recommend the default setting for all but special circumstances.

Valid speeds:

Auto
Half 10 Mbps
Full 10 Mbps
Half 100 Mbps
Full 100 Mbps
Half 1000 Mbps
Full 1000 Mbps
Full 10 Gbps

Speed

Displays the actual speed and duplex mode that the management interface uses.

Public Interface (when Static IP Address is selected)

Specifies the IP address that is permanently assigned to the public interface to the Pilot.

Pilot 1/Pilot 2

Specifics the IP addresses that are permanently assigned to the Pilot nodes. You can use these static IP addresses as an alternate method to access the active Pilot node.

Netmask

Specifies the subnet mask for the public IP address that is permanently assigned to the Oracle FS System.

Gateway

Specifies the public IP address of the gateway server in the subnet of which the Oracle FS System is a member.

DNS Settings

Primary DNS Server: Specifies the Domain Name Server (DNS) that is used to resolve IP addresses.
Secondary DNS Server: Specifies the IP address of the secondary DNS server in the network if the primary DNS server cannot be reached.

Static Routes

Manages TCP/IP traffic to non‑local network routes for a File Server.

Routes are used to send network traffic to specific IP addresses or to specific subnets. Typically, a File Server uses the gateway attribute of the virtual interface (VIF) to route outgoing traffic.

By default, the routing table is empty. If you define one or more static routes for a File Server, you can define up to 32 routes.

Destination: Identifies the route destination network or host.
Netmask: Identifies the subnet mask for the destination route IP address.
Gateway: Identifies the IP address that is assigned to the gateway host. The gateway IP address is used to route messages from this network to other networks.
Order: Identifies the routing position in the table.

Add Route: Adds a TCP/IP route for access by all File Servers.
Remove Route: Removes one or more TCP/IP routes.
