Managing application interfaces

To manage application interfaces with the management interface, use the Application Interfaces page.

1. From the top-level menu of the Appliance Dashboard, click Manage > Network Settings > Application Interfaces. The Application Interfaces page displays these tabs.
   • Interface 1
   • Interface 2
   • Interface 3
   • Interface 4
   Each tab displays a table with these column names.

   Type

   Indicates whether the type is IPv4 or IPv6.

   Address

   Indicates the address of the application interface. For example, 9.122.125.175.

   Interface FQDN

   Indicates the fully qualified domain name of the application interface. For example, igi.example.com.

   Interface Gateway

   Indicates the address of the application interface gateway. For example, 9.122.125.1.

   Netmask/Prefix

   Indicates the netmask or prefix of the application interface. For example, 255.255.255.0.

   A netmask is used for IPv4, and a prefix is used for IPv6.

2. On any tab of the Application Interfaces page, do one of these actions.

For example, 9.122.20.250. IPv6 IPv6 improves the efficiency of routing and provides greater security. It is a 128-bit IP address, which is written in hexadecimal and separated by colons. For example, 4ffe:1800:8484:3:220:f9ff:fe25:70cf Specify the fully qualified domain name of the application interface in the Interface FQDN field.
