In the General Info step, you have selected a host on which you want to run the service your are currently creating.
In the Interface Binding step, you will bind the service you plan to create to specific network interfaces on the selected host. Interface binding can be useful if you want to separate traffic due to security reasons. For example, if your organization uses a gateway to separate the internal network (LAN) from external networks (WAN), you can bind the service to an interface that separates the service traffic from other traffic. Binding the service to WAN, which covers a large geographic area including the Internet, ensures that the service traffic is separated from LAN, which usually cover your organization’s internal network.
Note: Before you can bind the service to network interfaces on the host, ensure that you have properly set up the interfaces on the host. Otherwise, you will not be able to bind the service to the desired interface.
To bind your service to network interfaces in the Interface Binding step, complete the following:
All Interface Binding: Select this check box to include all interfaces.
WAN: Select this to bind the service to WAN.
LAN: Select this to bind the service to LAN.
NETWORK INTERFACES
This section provides information on the network interfaces configured on the host. The following information is included in this section:
HOST NAME: The host name as provided.
NETWORK INTERFACE: The network interface used by the service instance.
INTERFACE TYPE: The type of network interface used to bind the service instance.
NETWORK LABEL: The provided label for the network.
IPv4 ADDRESS: The IPv4 address of the network.
IPv6 ADDRESS: The IPv6 address of the network.
Click Next to proceed to the Source Interface step. Click Back to return to the previous configuration wizard page, or click Cancel to exit out of the configuration wizard without saving any configuration changes. If edits or changes have been made to the service instances configuration and if no further configuration changes are required, click Finish to update and complete the configuration edit process and the Create Service wizard.
Click Next to proceed to the Interface Binding step. Note that all required information must be added prior to proceeding to the next step. If any required information fields are left empty on the General Info page, you will see the following:
If you must change any information, click Back to return to the previous configuration wizard page, or click Cancel to exit the wizard without saving any configuration changes. If you have complete all edits and configuration, click Finish.
