Caution: If VLAN tagging is enabled for an interface, DXi Advanced Reporting is unable to collect
and record statistics for traffic moving over the VLAN interface (for example, eth1.400). Statistics
are still collected for the base device (for example, eth1.)
3. In the External Host IP column, select the check box to designate the interface as an external host IP.
This associates the interface IP address with the host name of the DXi, and the DXi is externally
identified by the host IP. The following restrictions apply:
l You can designate only one external host IP for the network configuration.
l You must specify a traffic type of Mgmt (management) or Any for the external host IP interface.
l You must specify a valid Default Gateway in the General section. In addition, the external host IP
must be on the same subnet as the Default Gateway to ensure external communication.
4. Enter the following network information as provided by your network administrator (all fields are
required):
IP Address The IP address of the interface.
Netmask The network mask of the interface.
Gateway The gateway of the DXi4700. (This is usually not the same as the default gateway.)
5. If necessary, specify NAT (Network Address Translation) settings for the interface:
Note: If the DXi4700 is a replication target and is behind a NAT router, you must configure a NAT
IP Address
NATed Select the check box if the IP address of the DXi is translated by a firewall to a NAT
IP address when the DXi communicates to the outside world.
NAT IP Address The IP address used to access the DXi from the public network. The router that
connects the DXi to the Internet performs Network Address Translation that maps
the IP address of the DXi to the NAT IP address, providing a valid replication
interface for a source DXi.
6. Select the check box for each type of network traffic allowed on the interface (segmentation):
At least one interface must allow management traffic.
Mgmt Select to allow management traffic.
Repl Select to allow replication traffic.
