About management interface settings
When you initially ran the Setup Wizard, you set required settings for the data interfaces for the Core. Use these groups of controls on this page only if modifications or additional configuration is required:
• Primary Interface—On the device, the primary interface is the port you connect to the LAN switch. The primary interface is the device management interface. You connect to the primary interface to use the web UI or the CLI.
• Auxiliary Interface—On the device, the auxiliary interface is an optional port you can use to connect the device 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 IPv4 Routing Table—Displays a summary of the main routing table for the device. If necessary, you can add static routes that might be required for out-of-path deployments or particular device management subnets.
You can view and modify settings for the primary interface under Configure > Networking: Management Interfaces.
Enable Primary Interface
Enables the primary interface. The remaining Primary Interface settings are activated only when this box is selected.
Obtain IPv4 Address Automatically
Obtains the IPv4 address from a DHCP server. A DHCP server must be available so that the system can request the IP address from it. The primary and in-path interfaces can share the same subnet. The primary and auxiliary interfaces can’t share the same network subnet.
Specify IPv4 Address Manually
Specifies you don’t use a DHCP server to set the IP address.
IPv4 Address
Specifies an IPv4 address.
IPv4 Subnet Mask
Specifies a subnet mask.
Default IPv4 Gateway
Specifies the primary gateway IP address. The primary gateway must be in the same network as the primary interface. You must set the primary gateway for in-path configurations.
Speed
Specifies a speed from the drop-down list. The default value is Auto.
Duplex
Specifies Auto, Full, or Half from the drop-down list. The default value is Auto. If your network routers or switches don’t automatically negotiate the speed and duplex, be sure to set them manually.
MTU
Specifies the MTU value. The MTU is the largest packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can send. The default value is 1500.
Enable Auxiliary Interface
Enables the auxiliary interface. The remaining auxiliary interface settings are activated only when this box is selected.
Obtain IPv4 Address Automatically
Obtains the IPv4 address from a DHCP server. A DHCP server must be available so that the system can request the IP address from it. The primary and in-path interfaces can share the same subnet. The primary and auxiliary interfaces can’t share the same network subnet.
Specify IPv4 Address Manually
Specifies this option if you don’t use a DHCP server to set the IP address.
Speed
Specifies a speed from the drop-down list. The default value is Auto.
Duplex
Specifies Auto, Full, or Half from the drop-down list. The default value is Auto.
MTU
Specifies the MTU value. The MTU is the largest packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can send. The default value is 1500.
Routing table settings
Under Main IPv4 Routing Table, you can configure routing for interfaces that share the same subnet.
Destination IPv4 Address
Specifies the destination IP address for the out-of-path appliance or network management device.
IPv4 Subnet Mask
Specifies the subnet mask.
Gateway IPv4 Address
Specifies the IP address for the gateway.
Interface
Selects the interface from the drop-down list.
