Avamar single nodes are the same hardware as the storage nodes in multi-node grids. Gen4 storage nodes have four 1G LAN ports plus a port for dedicated DRAC. Two of these four ports are normally set up in an HA configuration and connected to the customer network (Gb1 / eth0 + Gb3 / eth2 => bond0).
Since single node systems do not require an internal communication channel, the Gb2 / eth1 and Gb4 / eth3 ports are available for other uses such as management traffic segregation or dedicated replication but please keep in mind that they must be configured on separate networks, not just different IPs.
You will probably find the Customer Service Guide helpful. It contains physical descriptions and diagrams for the various node types. The part number for the guide is 300-011-547.
The networking configurations are detailed in the Avamar Data Store Gen4 Single Node Customer Installation Guide but you will likely only have access to this if you are a qualified partner. I don't believe it's available to customers directly. The part number for the Single Node guide is 300-011-545.
