  • Interface: The names (such as enp1s0 and enp2s0) of the Ethernet ports on the appliance. All virtual interfaces you have configured appear in the table. You cannot modify this field.

  • VLAN ID: The VLAN ID of the respective VLAN interface.

  • Interface Type: The interface label defines the interface binding between the BloxOne service and the interface on which the service runs. This can also be the custom label you use to associate the host with the interface binding.

  • MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unitmaximum transmission unit for the network, which is the size of the largest protocol data unit-unit that can be communicated in a single network-layer transaction.

  • IPv4 CIDR: A CIDR address block for IPv6 network defined by a network address and bit maskThe IPv4 address and netmask of the IP interface. You can modify this field, if necessary.

  • IPv4 Metric: An IPv4 metric is a value assigned to a specific route that determines the preference of that route compared to others.

  • IPv6 CIDR: A CIDR address block for IPv4 network defined by a network address and bit mask.

  • IPv6 Metric: An IPv6 metric is a value assigned to a specific route that determines the preference of that route compared to othersA value that you assign to an IP route for a particular interface, for routing purposes. Valid IPv4 metric values are from 0 (default) to 999999. 

BloxOne uses the metric value to determine which interface is to be used for cloud communications. The metric value is important if you have multiple network interfaces configured with the 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: Whether the interface is Enabled or Disabled.
