12 The VMware Channel IP Configuration page prompts you to configure the VMware Channel(s) IP
network addresses. Click Add for each available channel connection. For the Primary server, select from
a drop-down menu that lists all local IP addresses. Type the reciprocal IP address on the Secondary server
into the IP Address On Secondary text box. You must specify all VMware Channel IP addresses in
subnets outside of the normal Principal (Public) IP addressing schema so that VMware Channel traffic
routing uses the VMware Channel network card rather than the Principal (Public) network card. Click
OK. Repeat this step for additional NICs.
13 Review and adjust, if necessary, the default channel port. Click Next.
N
OTE When the implementation spans multiple sites with firewalls between the servers, configure the
firewalls to allow traffic to pass through the default channel port or the manually configured channel port.
