Creating Dynamic interface group in DD2200 with ethMc and eth0a
Hi All,
Hope you well. Customer want to use ethMc 1Gbps ( 1 out of 4 build in ports ethMa ethMb ethMc ethMd) and one of the ports from quad port Ethernet module(on slot 0) lets say eth0a in a for virtual failover interface for DDboost etc.
Can i use these combination of ports in a Dynamic interface group? Is this allowed? I couldn't find any document demonstrating this. If any document exist please direct me to this.
Any assistance much appreciated!
Kind regards
Meera

Can you please clarify your question?
A virtual failover port between 2 interfaces, it's not really the same as an ifgroup or dynamic ifgroup.
A failover interface would see 2x physical NIC's under a virtual port as - say - veth0 and one IP applied to it.
A dynamic interface group would assign 2x different NIC's with 2 different IP's as members of the ifgroup - that can be used in DDBoost.

Hello Janathan,
Thank you so much for the answer much appreciated! I am little confused with customer requirement as well.
Customer notes noted below he gave me one IP like 10.x.x.x
''Wants IP 10.x.x.x assigned veth0 (ethMc + one port from the 4 port quad card) (virtual failover interface) registered with backup applications''
now is looks like your explanation ''A failover interface would see 2x physical NIC's under a virtual port as - say - veth0 and one IP applied to it''? But the confused part is ''registered with backup applications''
Kind regards

typically it is the IP/hostname that is registered with the backup software for communication that needs to be highly available.
e.g.
veth0: ethMa, eth0a <- used for backup software registration (and backups)
ethMb - backup interface
eth0b -
then one ifgroup with all of them ifgroup: IPs for veth0, eth3,eth4 - which will give 3Gbps total bandwidth.

Hi,
Thanks a million for the reply. Just to confirm Have you seen or done veth0: with one port on build in NIC like ethMc, and another port from added I/O module like port eth0a of quad port 1Gbps? just i can't find any doc mentioning this
Kind regards

no i have not. but check the DDOS admin guide. i recall reading documentation about mixing copper with fiber and/or 1Gbps with 10Gbps.
cheers,
