Click the Network object to
manage your system's NICs. Server Administrator monitors the status
of each NIC present in your system to ensure continuous remote connection.
Server Administrator reports FCoE and iSoE capabilities of the NICs.
Also, NIC teaming details are reported if they are already configured
on the system. Two or more physical NICs can be teamed into a single
logical NIC, to which an administrator can assign an IP address. Teaming
can be configured using NIC vendor tools. For example, Broadcom —
BACS. If one of the physical NICs fails, the IP address remains accessible
because it is bound to the logical NIC rather than to a single physical
NIC. If Team Interface is configured, the detailed team properties
are displayed. The relation between physical NICs and Team Interface
and vice-versa is also reported, if these physical NICs are members
of the Team Interface.
On Windows 2008 Hypervisor operating system, Server
Administrator does not report the IP addresses of the physical NIC
ports that are used to assign an IP to a virtual machine.
NOTE: The order in
which devices are detected is not guaranteed to match the physical
port ordering of the device. Click the hyperlink under Interface Name
to view NIC information.
In ESXi operating system, the network device is considered
a group. For example, the virtual ethernet interface that is used
by the Service Console (vswif) and virtual network interface that
is used by vmknic device on ESXi.
NOTE: The Server Administrator
supports only inventory of physical network interfaces and its properties. Server
Administrator does not support inventory of logical interfaces like
VLAN and Bonded.
The Network object action window can have the
following tab, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties.
Properties
Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can view information
about the physical NIC interfaces and also the team interfaces installed
on your system.
NOTE: In the IPv6 Addresses
section, Server Administrator displays only two addresses, in addition
to the link-local address.
NOTE: On systems running
Linux operating systems with kernel versions earlier than 3.10, Team
Interface speed is not displayed.
