Add or Modify a Network Interface

When you add a server to the matrix, its network interfaces are

automatically configured into the matrix. Occasionally, you may want to

preconfigure a network interface. For example, you can add a network

interface that either does not currently exist on a server, or that is on a

server that is down. You might also want to modify an existing interface.

• To add a network interface, select the server for that interface on the

Servers window, right-click, and select Add Network Interface.

• To modify an existing network interface, select that interface, right-

click, and select Properties. The network interface must be down; you

cannot modify an “up” network interface.

Server: The name or IP address of the server that will include the new

network interface.

IP:

Type the IP address for the network interface.

Netmask: Type the net mask for the network interface.

Allow Admin. Traffic: Specify whether the network interface can host

administrative traffic. The default is to allow the traffic.
