Need to move Netbackup transfers to fiber instead of LAN

Goofoff109

We have a Netbackup 7.x system appliance with that the vendor setup to use the LAN but now we have fiber switches connected.

This wasn't an issue for a long time but well after a while it is saturating the lan while we are backing up to the disks.

What would i need to do to move all these backups through the fiber switch instead of the lan?
