Secure Network Separation
Secure network separation is advanced networking functionality that enables administrators to
segment traffic to different NIC’s and subnets ( see Table 1 ). Advanced networking makes it possible to
assign backup traffic to one bond, management traffic to a second bond and replication traffic to a
third bond. This section will cover the following advanced networking scenarios in detail:
Scenario 1: Leverage separate interfaces for management, replication and backup traffic
Scenario 2: Leverage one bonded interface for management, replication and OST traffic and
another for backup traffic
Scenario 3: Replication between sites with dedicated interfaces
Scenario 4: Multiple appliance replication
Scenario 5: Backup to different IPs on a single DR appliance

Example
administrator@DR1 > network -- factory_reset --auto_bonding_speed 1G
Warning: This will stop all system operation and will reset the network configuration to
factory settings and will require a system robbon. Existing configuration will be lost.
Password required to proceed. Please enter the administrator password :
administrator@DR1 > System --reboot
Note: When creating a bond ensure that the interfaces to bond have active links. This will ensure
that the system will be operational after the bonding of the interfaces is complete.
