DHCP
A DHCP installation requires two NICs where the MS and ES are installed on the same server (see
Figure 10), and at least three NICs where the MS and ES are installed on different servers; one for the
MS and two for each ES.
802.1X
802.1X-enabled Sentriant AG installations require one NIC where the MS and ES are installed on the
same server (see Figure 11), and two NICs where the MS and ES are installed on different servers. In
802.1X mode,
eth1 on Sentriant AG is used to discover endpoints on the network. To discover
endpoints on the local network,
eth1 can simply be plugged into a port on that subnet because it
receives broadcast traffic. To discover endpoints on other networks,
eth1 must be connected to a
mirrored port or a port that is part of a tagged VLAN trunk to detect traffic from endpoints on these
