This section of the Network panel shows the network interfaces that are installed in your ADC appliance. You can add and remove adapters as needed.
Column
Description
Adapter
This column displays the physical adapters installed on your appliance. Choose an adapter from the list of available adapters by clicking on it – a double-click will place the listing line into edit mode.
VLAN
Double click to add the VLAN ID for the adapter. A VLAN is a Virtual Local Area Network which creates a distinct broadcast domain. A VLAN has the same attributes as physical LAN but it allows for end stations to be grouped together more easily if they are not on the same network switch
IP Address
Double click to add the IP address associated with the adapter interface. You can add multiple IP addresses to the same interface. This should be an IPv4 32-bit number in quad dotted decimal notation. Example 192.168.101.2
Subnet Mask
Double click to add the subnet mask assigned to the adapter interface. This should be an IPv4 32-bit number in quad dotted decimal notation. Example 255.255.255.0
Gateway
Add a gateway for the interface. When this is added the ADC will set-up a simple policy that will allow connections initiated from this interface to be returned via this interface to the gateway router specified. This allows the ADC to be installed in more complex networking environments without the trouble of manually configuring complex policy based routing.
Description
Double click to add a description for your adapter. Example Public Interface.
Note: The ADC will automatically name the first interface Green Side, the second interface Red Side and the third interface Side 3 etc.
Please feel free to change these naming conventions to your own choice.
Web Console
Double click the column then tick the box to assign the interface as the management address for the Graphical User Interface Web Console. Please be very careful when changing the interface that Web Console will listen on. You will need to have the correct routing set up or be in the same subnet as the new interface in order to reach the Web Console after the change. The only way to change this back is to access the command line and issue the set greenside command. This will delete all interfaces except for eth0.
