You can check the status of an IP interface and also add, modify, and delete dynamic VIPs and routes on a VUE application server through the I/F Detail option.
Choose the desired server and click
and click I/F Detail to view and edit the IP interface
of that server. This displays a list of all interfaces discovered on the server. For
each interface there are 2 sections of information displayed – Stored (DB) information
and Current Status.
Stored (DB) Information/Configuration
This is information discovered at time the server was either first added to the system, last upgraded, or last time a refresh interfaces playbook was run. The refresh_interfaces.sh playbook is run from the command line and is required to be run anytime an I/F is changed (SFP/SFP+ is added or removed).
| Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
| I/F Name | Name of the IP interface. |
| IPv4 Address | Static IPv4 address, if configured. |
| IPv6 Address | Static IPv6 address, if configured. |
| MAC Address | MAC address of the IP interface. |
| Max speed (G) | Maximum speed in Gbps. This is based on type of SFP/SFP+ stored at time interface was last scanned as noted above. This can be different than the current Speed shown in the Current Status section. |
| VIPs/Routes | This is the number of VIPs currently configured. Selecting this display the VIPs/Routes screen showing a complete list of all the configured VIPs and Routes. You can also add, modify, or delete VIPs and Routes from this screen |
Current Status
This section includes the Current Status of each Ethernet interface. This status is gathered by the EM when you select the I/F Detail option. This information is only available if the server is currently accessible. This table includes Current Status information:
| Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Link | Indicates if the current link is up or down. |
| Speed (G) | This is the current I/F speed as detected by the server in Gbps. This may differ than the Max Speed as shown in the DB information section. This may be due to a change in the I/F requiring the need to run the refresh_interfaces.sh script or could be due to connecting a 1G interface to an older style 10/100 hub/switch. |
| Fault | Current fault of interface. A fault would indicate a loss of link for an interface configured with a static IP or VIP. |
| Input BW (Mbps) | Current input Ethernet bandwidth. |
| Output BW (Mbps) | Current output Ethernet bandwidth. |
The total input and output Ethernet BW of all interfaces for the server in Mbps is displayed at bottom of the I/F Detail screen.
