Did anyone worked on AIR required_interface setting ?

[Vijay_K_Gera]

I need to route my Network Traffic in an already configured AIR Environment to an alternate unconfigure interface. This would be to eth0 on the appliance which is unconfigured.

Can someone share with me the steps that needs to be followed here ? I am sorry but I couldn't find anything about this in the Netbackup Admin Guide.

I don't think there are documented steps for what you want to do.  You'll need to re-associate the remote host with a different IP/name and either populate DNS with that name or a hosts file.

Try searching for netbackup dedicated backup network.  There are a number of Technotes and forum posts that can help you piece it together.

Hi Vijay,

With NetBackup Appliance, eth0 or NIC1 is reserved for private networks. This port is used to directly connect a laptop to perform initial configuration and has an initial IP Address 192.168.229.233. NetBAckup uses Nic2, Nic3 and Nic4 as your public netbackup network. With NetBackup Appliance, you can bound the three NICs. I don't think you can use Nic1/eth0 as your NetBackup routing port.

You can read below link explaining "How Network interfaces are selected in NetBackup", this might help

Does this holds true for Appliance 2.6.0.2 as well ?

No, it does not.  With 2.6.0.2 you can use all four ports.
