Dedicated Interface : DD replication

Has anyone configured a dedicated interface for replication   ?

EMC KB says this as best practice https://emc--c.na5.visual.force.com/apex/KB_HowTo?id=kA0700000004S4R

However , no mention of how to dedicate a interface for  replication traffic alone ...

Please help

    Hi.

    Configure the replication context ie.

    replication add source mtree://source/mtree_name destination mtree://destination/mtree_name

    Then change the interface:

    replication modify mtree://destination/mtee_name connection-host xxxxxx

    Where xxxxxx will be something like repl-port....

    repl-port needs to be configured as a separate network interface on both the source and destination devices.

    eth0a - management traffic

    eth0b - replication traffic

    If you don't use DNS then make sure you configure repl-port in the host file

    net host add 10.10.10.10 repl-port

    Let me know if you require additional info.
