Figure 160: Add Target Host
2. In the Target Hostname or IP box, enter the hostname or IP address of the system that will receive
the replicated data.
Additional Information
l When entering IP addresses, never use an address that is in a reserved IP address range. To
see a list of reserved IP address ranges, click the quick tip icon [?] located near the IP address
field.
l To use hostname format, you must specify at least one DNS IP address on the Network page
(see Network on page 290).
3. In the Encryption drop-down box, select the type of encryption to use when sending replication data to
the target system (None, 128-bit, 256-bit, or TLS with AES 256).
Important Information
l AES encryption options are available only if the Data-in-Flight license is installed (see License
Keys on page 349).
l If TLS with AES 256 is selected, the factory installed certificates are inadequate for security. The
factory installed certificates should be considered public domain and are provided only for
convenience. You must install new certificates for secure encryption.
l TLS with AES 256 must be enabled for this encryption option to appear (see Data Encryption on
page 315).
Caution: For encryption, select None or 128-bit if you are sending data to a DXi running a system
software version prior to DXi 2.1 Software.
4. In the Source IP box, enter the IP address that is used to uniquely identify the source DXi to the target.
This may be different than the actual network IP address of the source DXi.
If the target system is at DXi 2.1 Software or higher, the Source IP field is not required. If the target
system is at DXi 2.0.1.x Software or below, then you must enter the IP address by which the target
system recognizes the source system. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
