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 More options 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).

Refer to installation guide for details on running the refresh_interfaces.sh playbook. This table includes DB information:
Column NameDescription
I/F NameName of the IP interface.
IPv4 AddressStatic IPv4 address, if configured.
IPv6 AddressStatic IPv6 address, if configured.
MAC AddressMAC 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/RoutesThis 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 NameDescription
LinkIndicates 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.
FaultCurrent 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.
