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.
Net Mask: Type the net mask for the network interface.
Allow Administrative Traffic: Specify whether the network interface can
host administrative traffic for Matrix Server. The options are:
• Allow. The default is to allow the traffic.
• Discourage. This network will be used for administrative traffic only
if no other network is available. When a network that allows the traffic
becomes available to all servers in the matrix, the administrative traffic
will fail over to that network.
• Exclude. This network will never be used for administrative traffic.
To add a network interface from the command line, use the following
command:
mx netif add --server <server> --netmask <interface_netmask>
[--adminTraffic <allow|discourage|exclude>] <interface_ip>
To modify a network interface, use this command:
mx netif update --netmask <interface_netmask>
[--adminTraffic <allow|discourage|exclude>] <interface_ip>
