Setting Up Network Interfaces and Static Routing (BUI)

To ensure the appropriate network interfaces are used for the replication connections between source and target appliances, configure IPv4 static /32 or IPv6 static /128 (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.

  1. Source appliance: From the Configuration menu, select Network, then Routing.
  2. Click the add icon image showing the add icon next to Routing Table Entries.
  3. In the Insert Static Route dialog box, define the static route to the target appliance:

    • Family - Select IPv4 or IPv6.

    • Kind - Select Network.

    • Destination - For the target appliance, enter the IPv4 address and netmask /32 or the IPv6 address and netmask /128.

    • Gateway - For the target appliance, enter the gateway address.

    • Interface - Select the interface name from the pull-down menu.

  4. Click ADD.
  5. After defining the static route from the source appliance to the target appliance, repeat these steps on the target appliance to define the static route from the target back to the source.
  6. To verify that traffic is routed through the correct source and target interfaces, use the traceroute command.

    For information about using traceroute, see Configuring Network Routing.

    Note:

    When an interface is deleted, all routes associated with the interface are also removed.
