help for flex 5260 appliance network configuration

Hi @ all

could anyone help me with a clear explanation :)

we have a new flex appliance 5260 with 3 ethernet 10G cards (dual ports)

the goal is to backup 3 different environment in different vLANS

virtualisation in 172.16.200.0/23

some servers in 172.17.204.0/24

other servers in 192.168.15.0/24

should master and media instances uses one ip address which be routed to the 3 vLANs

or should i configure 3 vlan Tags on the bond before creating the instances and then give the master and media 3 addresses in the these vlans ?if yes, should i use the ip of the media in the hosts file of the clients ?

i wish i have well explained and thank you in advance for your help :)))

    Hi,

    Create a bonded interface (all six interfaces labeled from nic3-nic8) with LACP (802.3ad) mode and put VLAN tags and associated subnets accordingly.

    Create the instances on the VLAN (suitable IP) that is able to communicate with infra servers (AD, DNS, NTP, vCenter). Then assign the additional interfaces (+IP) to the instances from the remaining VLANs.

    At the end, you'll have primary/media/WORM instances, all is able to communicate with clients located on all VLANs. Just tell clients which IP address they need to contact (via hosts file).
