      ParameterDescription
      VIP Address and Netmask

      IPv4 or IPv6 Virtual IP address along with the network mask in CIDR notation for this interface. Multiple VIPs can be assigned to an interface. Example of CIDR notation is 10.172.26.30/24.

      VIP Role

      Identifies the role of a virtual IP (VIP). Supported values are HB or other. A VIP can be used exclusively to exchange heartbeats and other redundancy control information within a redundancy cluster when the role is defined as HB. When the role of a VIP is defined as other, the VIP is intended to be used by VUE applications to exchange data or application specific control information.

    2. To add a route, enter the details:
      ParameterDescription
      Destination IP

      The network destination IPv4 or IPv6 address for the routing entry along with the network prefix in CIDR notation.

      Gateway IP

      The gateway IP address is used to identify the address where to forward packets. This address can be specified as an IPv4 or IPv6 address but all attributes for a single entry must be the same address type.

  3. Click Submit to save the values or Cancel to disregard changes.
