Idpa configuration options for environments with backup clients on separate discrete non-routable network segments
Looking for information with respect to how one would set up an iDPA configuration so that it would be able to back up clients that are on separate discrete non-routable network segments within the customer network environment.
In other words, the iDPA equivalent of the "legacy" method for setting up multiple interfaces on an integrated Avamar/DD configuration in order to deal with clients on separate discrete non-routable network segments.
Apologies in advance if this info is already available - if it is, it's certainly not easy to find.

I'm sure by now the above specific issue has been addressed, but for future reference for all:
VLANs would be one solution to the above question. The key is that the vlan settings must match between the IDPA and the customer switch. Details can be provided as needed.
Also, IDPA can be configured to use separate networks for backup and management and replication.
Dell provided a lot of documentation for each of the IDPA versions and models, which includes some Network and Security configuration information and options.
This is a good place to start looking:

https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000195118/powerprotect-dp-series-appliance-2-7-1-info-hub?lang=en
A lot of other documentation is available based on the model and the use case scenario, so it is not practical to list it all here, but rather if someone has a specific situation with more details, then you can post the question here or contact your account manager or Support for help.
We welcome questions and contributions from all.
If you found this useful please give KUDOS to help others find the information also.
thanks
