briefly)
To perform as designed, a hardware appliance requires network and firewall settings as follows:
• Configure all connected network interfaces in the hardware console.
• Make sure that each network interface is on a unique subnet.
• Provide all connected network interfaces with outbound access to the endpoints listed in the diagram
preceding.
• Configure at least one network interface to support the hardware appliance. For more information, see
Configure Network Parameters (p. 27).
Note
To see an illustration showing the back of the server with its ports, see Rack-Mount Your
Hardware Appliance and Connect It to Power (p. 25)
All IP addresses on the same network interface (NIC), whether for a gateway or a host, must be on the
same subnet. The following illustration shows the addressing scheme.
