Configuring interfaces
Create or edit your management and application interfaces.
About this task
The appliance supports the use of virtual local area network (VLAN). A VLAN is a logical association of switch ports that are based on a set of rules or criteria, such as MAC addresses, protocols, network address, or multicast address. This concept permits the LAN to be segmented again without requiring physical rearrangement.
The interfaces with names in the format of 1.x are real interfaces, which correspond to the network adapters on your physical appliance or the adapters that are attached to your virtual appliance. The interfaces with names in the format of 1.x:<vlanid> are virtual interfaces.
You can add or delete virtual interfaces, but you cannot delete real interfaces. When you add an interface, you are effectively adding a VLAN to a specific interface.
