You can bond the management interface on QRadar® hardware.
About this task
You can bond the management interfaces during the QRadar installation process, or
after installation by following these steps.
You can bond non-management interfaces in the QRadar user interface after
installation. See Configuring network
interfaces for more information about configuring non-management interfaces.
Bonding modes 1 and 4 are supported. Mode 4 is the default.
Note: You must be physically logged in to your appliance, for example through IMM or iDRAC, for
these steps. Do not use ssh for these steps.
Procedure
-
Change your network setup by typing the command qchange_netsetup.
Note: If you attempt to run qchange_netsetup over a serial connection, the
connection can be misidentified as a network connection. To run over a serial connection use
qchange_netsetup -y. This command allows you to bypass the validation check
that detects a network connection.
Note: Verify all external storage which is not /store/ariel or /store is not mounted.
- Select the protocol version that is used for the appliance.
- Select Yes to continue with bonded network interface
configuration.
- Select interfaces to configure as bonded interfaces. The interfaces that you select must
not already be configured.
- Enter the bonding options.
For more information about configuring specific
bonding options, see your vendor-specific operating system documentation.
- Update any network information settings as needed.
Your appliance
restarts automatically.
- Log in to the appliance and verify the configuration.
