The Interface Settings page allows administrators to configure IPv4 network parameters for the appliance’s Management and Events network interfaces.

Interface Settings

πŸ› οΈ Management Interface

The Management Interface handles administrative access, Web UI connectivity, API operations, and system daemons.

Configuration parameters include:

  • Protocol Mode β€” Toggle between Static IP or DHCP addressing.

  • Physical Interface β€” Select the target physical network device (displays the device name and detected MAC address).

  • IP Address β€” The static IPv4 address assigned to the management interface (required in static mode).

  • Netmask β€” The subnet mask for the management network (e.g., 255.255.255.0).

  • Gateway β€” The default network gateway for management traffic.

  • Default Gateway Checkbox β€” Designates the management gateway as the primary system default route.

πŸ“‘ Events Interface

The Events Interface handles high-volume telemetry ingestion and destination delivery traffic.

Administrators can operate in one of two routing modes:

  • Unified Interface (Default) β€” When Use Management settings for Events is enabled, all event pipelines route through the management interface.

  • Dedicated Interface β€” When disabled, an independent network adapter can be provisioned to isolate telemetry traffic from management operations.

Dedicated configuration options:

  • Protocol Mode β€” Select Static IP or DHCP.

  • Physical Interface β€” Select the dedicated physical device for event traffic.

  • IP Address & Netmask β€” Independent IPv4 addressing and subnet assignment.

  • Gateway β€” Optional dedicated gateway for telemetry routing.

  • Default Gateway Checkbox β€” Sets this adapter as the default routing path for outbound event traffic.

Warning: Updating IP addresses, subnet masks, or default routes on the management interface may temporarily interrupt your active Web UI session while network adapters restart.
