2.3.4 Network Interface Roles
For an Acronis Storage cluster to function, network interfaces of cluster nodes must be assigned one or more
roles described below. Assigning roles automatically configures the necessary firewall rules.
• Internal. If one or more internal roles are assigned to a network interface, traffic on all ports is allowed
to and from said interface.
•
Management. The network interface will be used for communication between the nodes and the
management panel. To perform this role, the network interface must be connected to the internal
network. This role must be assigned to at least one network interface in the cluster.
•
Storage. The network interface will be used for transferring data chunks between storage nodes.
To perform this role, the network interface must be connected to the internal network. This role
must be assigned to one network interface on each storage node.
•
S3 private. The network interface will be used by the S3 storage access point. To perform this role,
