Managing base interfaces
You can configure base interface settings in the Appliance Configuration: <hostname>, Base Interfaces page. This page applies to SteelHead and Interceptor.
When you initially ran the configuration wizard, you set required settings for the base interfaces for the SteelHeads. Only use the controls on this page if you require modifications or additional configuration:
• Primary Interface—On the appliance, the primary interface is the port you connect to the LAN switch. The primary interface is the appliance management interface. You connect to the primary interface to use the Management Console or the CLI.
• Auxiliary Interface—On the appliance, the auxiliary interface is an optional port you can use to connect the appliance to a non-Riverbed network management device. The IP address for the auxiliary interface must be on a subnet different from the primary interface subnet.
• Main Routing Table—Displays a summary of the main routing table for the appliance. If necessary, you can add static routes that might be required for out-of-path deployments or particular device management subnets.
