Configuring Network Interfaces
Configuring Routes
Configuring the network interfaces sets up a default route for the OnBoard.
When the DHCP checkbox is checked on any of the network interface
screens, the DHCP server assigns the OnBoard a default route. If the DHCP
checkbox is not checked, the gateway IP specified by the administrative user
in the “Gateway IP” field is used to create a default route for the interface. If a
host or network route is required, the administrative user should go to the
Network → Static routes screen.
Configuring Failover
The following figure shows the fields that appear on the Network → Host
Settings screen when the “enabled” option is selected from the Failover menu
and the DHCP option is not checked. If the DHCP option is checked, no
further configuration is needed.
Figure 8-3: Network → Host Settings Screen With Failover Enabled
With failover enabled, the secondary Ethernet interface becomes bonded to
the primary Ethernet interface, and the secondary Ethernet interface becomes
active only if the primary Ethernet port is not available. As a result, the values
entered in the fields on the screen shown in Figure 8-3 apply to the single
bond0 interface.
