The metric value is used by BloxOne to determine which interface should be used for cloud communication. The metric value is important if you have multiple network interfaces configured with a gateway. The lower the metric value, the higher the priority the interface has in the IP routing table. For example, when you set the metric value to 0 for one interface and 20 for another, the interface with the metric value 0 will have a higher priority and will become the primary interface to be used for cloud traffic that goes through the configured gateway. If the primary interface is down, the traffic will go through the next prioritized interface. If you configure the same metric value for two interfaces, the system will decide and take the best route (the one with fewest hops) to the destination via the associated interface. If the number of hops is the same for both paths, the traffic will be load-balanced between the two associated interfaces.
Interface State: : An indication of whether the admin state of the configured network interface has been enabled or disabled administratively. All network interfaces other than the one with the lowest metric value are disabled by default; a disabled network interface will not be in use, but the configuration will stay intact. To use a specific interface, toggle the state to Enabled (green).
Enable Service Traffic: An indication of whether the BloxOne service is enabled on all IP interfaces or only on LAN.
On all IP Interfaces indicates that BloxOne services for this host are enabled on all IP interfaces.
LAN indicates that the BloxOne services for this host are enabled only on LAN.
