Data Domain: Configuring Physical Interfaces through Command-line Interface

If you moved the Data Domain to a new site and want to reconfigure everything new, you can also run the configuration setup command.

If you want to configure only the network, then skip the configuration setup command and use the net commands from this article.

# config setup

Launch a utility program that prompts you to configure settings for the system, network, filesystem, CIFS, NFS, and licenses. Press Enter to cycle through the selections and confirm any changes when prompted. Choices include Save, Cancel, and Retry.

This command option is unavailable on Retention Lock Compliance systems. Use System Manager to change configuration settings. Role required: admin and limited-admin.

The net configuration command allows you to configure a physical interface on the Data Domain.

 # net config <ifname> [type {floating | fixed}]
                {[<ipaddr>] [netmask <mask>] | [<ipv6addr>] |
                [dhcp {yes [ipversion {ipv4|ipv6}]|no}]}
                {[autoneg] | [duplex {full | half} speed {10|100|1000|10000}]}
                [up | down] [mtu {<size> | default}]
                [txqueuelen <size>]
                                       Configure an Ethernet interface. Create
                                       an alias by giving an address to a new
                                       alias number. Destroy an alias by
                                       giving an address of zero. "

Example # net config ethXx x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x 

To clear a interface give a address of zeros. 

Example # net config ethXx 0.0.0.0

 
Use the net route set gateway command to change the default gateway during initial setup or after relocating the Data Domain system.
   

# net route set gateway {<ipaddr> | <ipv6addr>}
                                       Set the default gateway

If you must only add a gateway, you can use the net route add gateway command.

# net route add gateway <ipv4addr> [interface <name>]
                                       Add a default gateway address,
                                       optionally to a specific interface

   

# net aggregate add <virtual-ifname> interfaces <physical-ifname-list>
                [mode {roundrobin |
                balanced hash {xor-L2 | xor-L3L4 | xor-L2L3} |
                lacp hash {xor-L2 | xor-L3L4 | xor-L2L3}
                [rate {fast | slow}]}]
                [up {<time> | default}]
                [down {<time> | default}]
                                       Add secondary interfaces to an aggregate
                                       interface. Mode must be given the first
                                       time

 # net aggregate del <virtual-ifname> interfaces {<physical-ifname-list> | all}
                                       Delete network interfaces from an
                                       aggregate interface

 # net aggregate modify <virtual-ifname>
                [mode {roundrobin |
                balanced hash {xor-L2 |xor-L3L4| xor-L2L3} |
                lacp hash {xor-L2|xor-L3L4|xor-L2L3}
                [rate {fast | slow}]}]
