Note: When creating a bond ensure that the interfaces to bond have active links. This will ensure that the system will 
be operational after the bonding of the interfaces is complete. 
6.3  Secure Network Separation 
Secure network separation is advanced networking functionality that enables administrators to segment traffic to 
different NIC’s and subnets (see Table 2). Advanced networking makes it possible to assign backup traffic to one bond, 
management traffic to a second bond and replication traffic to a third bond. This section will cover the following 
advanced networking scenarios in detail: 
•  Scenario 1: Leverage separate interfaces for management, replication and backup traffic 
Scenario 2: Leverage one bonded interface for management, replication and OST traffic and another for backup 
traffic 
•  Scenario 3: Replication between sites with dedicated interfaces 
•  Scenario 4: Multiple appliance replication 
•  Scenario 5: Backup to different IPs on a single DR appliance

Warning: This will stop all system operation and will reset the network configuration to 
factory settings and will require a system robbon. Existing configuration will be lost.
