Scenario 1: Leverage separate interfaces for management, replication and backup traffic
Sarah, a network administrator, has an office located in Boston and another located in New York ( See
Figure 3) . At each office she has a DR appliance and wishes to configure separate interfaces for
management, backup and replication traffic. Her desired configuration is as follows:
 Use bond0 for management.
 Use dedicated 1GB interface for replication traffic
 Use dedicated 2x 10GB bonded interfaces for backup traffic.
Scenario 1 topology
Note: Bond0 should be used for management traffic as it contains the default route and will
allow for management of the device from all accessible subnets. For Backup and Replication
Traffic, static routes should be added to allow communication between the devices.
