You can also configure VLAN interfaces if you opt to virtualize your network.
Redundant cloud connectivity refers to the setup of multiple network connections or paths to ensure continuous and reliable network connectivity between the host and BloxOne Cloud. It is a method used to minimize the risk of network downtime and improve network resilience. By having redundant connections, if one connection fails or experiences issues, the network traffic can automatically be rerouted through an alternate path, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity. In the context of BloxOne, redundant connectivity can be achieved by enabling port redundancy on LAN1 and LAN2 ports on the host. This feature groups the LAN1 and LAN2 ports into one logical interface, sharing one IP address. If a link to one of the ports fails or is disabled, the appliance fails over to the other port, avoiding service disruption. Therefore, the host never loses connectivity with BloxOne Cloud. It’s important to note that redundant connectivity can be configured in different ways depending on the specific network setup and requirements. The details of the configuration may vary based on the network equipment and software being used.
On the IP Interface Settings page of the Edit <Host> wizard, you can view or update IP interface settings, as follows:
...
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.
Redundant Cloud Connectivity: To enable Redundant Cloud Connectivity, toggle the setting to Enabled. By default, the setting is disabled.
