You may provision a Port Reservation for the new Grid Member. When doing so, you select the device to which you expect the new Grid Member to connect; In the context of a Grid member, this device type is usually an Ethernet Switch or Switch-Router. The Add Grid Member Wizard provides a step in which you define the port reservation settings, as described in the following section Adding a Single Member. The process also can be applied when defining an HA pair, as described in the sections Creating an HA Grid Master and Adding an HA Member. |

- From the Grid tab, select the Grid Manager tab -> Members tab -> member checkbox -> Edit icon.
- In the Grid Member Properties editor, select the Network tab -> Basic tab, and then complete the following:
- Communication Protocol Settings and Preferences: This setting is not applicable for an HA pair. Select either IPv4 or IPv6 from the drop-down list. This setting will force the appliance to use the specified protocol for Grid and reporting services and this is the preferred protocol for services with two types of resolution (A and AAAA records).
- Customized Settings: Select this and do the following:
- Always use this Communications Protocol for: For a Grid Master, you can select either IPv4 or IPv6 from the Reporting drop-down list. This setting will force the Grid Master to use the specified communication protocol for reporting service. For a Grid member, you can select either IPv4 or IPv6 from the Grid and Reporting drop-down list. This setting will force the Grid member to use the specified communication protocol for Grid and reporting service.
- Always Prefer this Communications Protocol for: This field lists the services which has two types of resolution (A and AAAA records). Select either IPv4 or IPv6 from the drop-down list for the service which you want the appliance to use this as the preferred communication protocol. The appliance uses the preferred protocol first for the service.

Grid members can join the Grid using IPv4 protocol in an IPv4-only Grid and using IPv6 protocol in an IPv6-only Grid. In a dual mode Grid, the Grid members may join the Grid using IPv4 or IPv6. Similarly, a Grid Master candidate can join the Grid using IPv4 in an IPv4-only Grid and using IPv6 in an IPv6-only Grid. But for a Grid Master candidate to join a dual mode Grid, it should be configured in dual mode. If you have configured the MGMT port for the Grid member, then the Grid member can join the Grid using the MGMT port. You can use the Grid Setup Wizard or access the Join Grid dialog box to join appliances to a Grid. The Grid Setup Wizard launches when you first log in to an appliance. You can also launch it from the Toolbar as described in Grid Setup Wizard.
To join a single appliance and HA pair to a Grid using the Grid Manager GUI:
