You can use the interfaces
configuration to configure additional IP
addresses for interfaces, including bonding interfaces, and static routes.
Configuring additional IP addresses
Additional DNS service addresses provide flexibility and centralized control when consolidating old DNS servers into one single server without disrupting any configurations that might be using the old IP addresses.

—set to true to enable dedicated management; set to false to disable dedicated management.networkInterfaces
—enter the network interfaces that you would like to configure. You can configure ethernet interfaces (eth
), loopback interface (lo
), or bonding interfaces (bond
).For more information on configuring bonding interfaces, refer to Configuring bonding interfaces.
Attention: You can configure multipleeth<number>
interfaces. However, the number of eth interfaces configured on the DNS/DHCP Server is dependent on how many interfaces are available on the virtual machine or appliance.active
—set to true to activate the specified interface; set to false to deactivate the specified interface.description
—enter a description for the specified interface. You can enter up to 80 alphanumeric characters including spaces, but excluding special characters.v4addresses

—enter the IPv4 address of the specified interface.cidr
—enter the CIDR of the IP space for the specified interface.

—enter the static route information.For more information on static route configuration, refer to Configuring static routes.
Configuring bonding interfaces
You can configure network redundancy through port bonding.
Supported bonding modes
- Failover— Active/Backup bonding where only one interface in the bond is active (Primary). This allows the secondary interface (eth3) to take over transparently if the Primary interface (eth0) fails.
- Load Balancing—Active/Active bonding using industry standard 802.3ad aggregation protocol, where aggregation groups share the same speed and duplex settings. Each interface shares the throughput and each interface is active; neither interface is a primary nor a secondary.

Configuring static routes
You can also add static routes to indicate where the system should send packets intended for certain IP addresses. Packets to be sent to hosts on the same subnet as the DNS/DHCP Server or can be routed directly to that subnet. The same procedures can be used to manage either IPv4 or IPv6 routes.
DNS/DHCP Server does not permit static routes that duplicate the network address and netmask of IP addresses configured on physical interfaces. However, you can configure static routes that overlap existing IP addresses on physical interfaces. That is, network addresses that are larger or smaller than the IP addresses on eth0, or eth2.
