Before You Begin
To ensure the appropriate network interfaces are used for the replication connections between source and target appliances, configure static /32 (host-specific) routes.
If you are setting up replication for a cluster configuration, select a singleton (unlocked) network interface so that following a cluster takeover or failback, the interface will move to the node where the replication work is being done. The two source cluster nodes can replicate to the same target node only if the target node provides two IP addresses, one for use by each node in the source cluster. Replicating to the same target IP address from both nodes of a source cluster is not supported.
Use a static /32 (host-specific) route to the target system IP address via the dedicated network interface. In the following example, mask=32 means this is a host-specific route.
