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 305Network on page 305).
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, or 256-bit).
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.
Note:AES encryption options are available only if the Data-in-Flight license is installed (see
License Keys on page 366).
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.
AdditionalInformation
l The SourceIPfield does not accept fully qualified domain names. You must enter a valid IP
address. Make sure this IP address is configured in the allowable sources list on the target DXi.
