DPOD can be configure with two network interface :

  1. First Interface - For accessing DPOD's Web Console via web browser and DPOD's CLI via SSH.
  2. Second Interface - For communicating with the monitored devices.

The second network interface can not share the same class C network as the first network interface ( example : the two interface can not have IP address on the sub net 192.169.10.x )

Connect the Second Network Interface to the Server

Use your system administrator assistance to add a second network interface to your virtual machine or physical server.

In some cases there will be a need to restart the server before the new network will be available.

After the server restart,  the operating system will automatically configure the new network interface  using DHCP.

Log in to DPOD's Console or CLI via SSH with the user "root"  and type the command "ifconfig"

The new network interface should be displayed as "eth1"

On a Non Appliance installation when customer provide per-installed server,  the network interfaces name might be different ( the network interface naming depends on the operating system configuration).

Configure the New Network Interface

  1. Copy the network interface MAC address as displayed in the "ifconfig"  command output after the attribute "ether"

  2. change directory to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

    cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
  3. duplicate the eth0 (first network interface) network interface configuration file for the new network interface file (eth1)

     cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth1 
  4. Edit the new file (ifcdf-eth1) and alter the following attributes based on the new network interface properties

    DEVICE=eth1
    BOOTPROTO=static
    ONBOOT=yes
    NM_CONTROLLED=no
    HWADDR=00:0c:29:14:7a:88
    IPADDR=192.168.116.178
    NETMASK=255.255.255.0
    USERCTL=no
    DNS1=8.8.8.8
    DNS2=8.8.4.4
    IFCONFIG_OPTS="txqueuelen 10000"


    DEVICE     : The network interface device name should be eth1
    HWADDR  : The network interface MAC address as displayed at section 1.
    NETMASK : The network mask based on the new interface properties (the network administrator should supply this information)

  5. Restart the network service by entering the following command

    service network restart
    The command output should be : Restarting network (via systemctl):                        [  OK  ]
