– An IP address for the system
– A subnet mask address
– A default gateway address
– A DNS suffix address
– A primary DNS server IP address
– (Optional) A secondary DNS server IP address
• NIC connection bonding: by default, the DR4000 system will configure
its NIC interfaces together as a bonded team (and only one IP address is
needed because the bonded NICs assume the primary interface address).
NIC connection bonding can use either of these configurations:
– Adaptive load balancing (ALB), which is the default setting, does not
require any special network switch support. Ensure that the data
source system must be on the same subnet as the DR4000 system. For
more information, see "Configuring Networking Settings" on page 31.
– 802.3ad or dynamic link aggregation (using the IEEE 802.3ad
standard). 802.3ad requires special switch configuration before using
the system (contact your network administrator for 802.3ad
configuration).
NOTE:
To configure a 10-GbE NIC or 10-GbE SFP+ bonded configuration,
connect only the 10-GbE/10-GbE SFP+ NICs (1-GbE NICs are disabled when
the 10-GbE/10-GbE SFP+ NICs are present).
• DNS: you need a DNS domain available, and you need to know the
primary DNS server IP address (and a secondary DNS server IP address,
if you choose to configure one).
• Replication ports: the replication service in the system requires enabled
fixed ports be configured to support replication operations being
performed across firewalls (TCP ports 9904, 9911, 9915, and 9916). For
more information about system ports, see "Supported Ports: DR4000
System" on page 129.
