Note: When creating a bond ensure that the interfaces to bond have active links. This will ensure that the system will
be operational after the bonding of the interfaces is complete.
6.3 Secure Network Separation
Secure network separation is advanced networking functionality that enables administrators to segment traffic to
different NIC’s and subnets (see Table 2). Advanced networking makes it possible to assign backup traffic to one bond,
management traffic to a second bond and replication traffic to a third bond. This section will cover the following
advanced networking scenarios in detail:
• Scenario 1: Leverage separate interfaces for management, replication and backup traffic
Scenario 2: Leverage one bonded interface for management, replication and OST traffic and another for backup
traffic
• Scenario 3: Replication between sites with dedicated interfaces
• Scenario 4: Multiple appliance replication
• Scenario 5: Backup to different IPs on a single DR appliance

Example
administrator@DR1 > network -- factory_reset --auto_bonding_speed 1G
Warning: This will stop all system operation and will reset the network configuration to
factory settings and will require a system robbon. Existing configuration will be lost.
