PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.16.0.0 Administrator's Guide for DM5500

ifGroup configuration and PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance policies

If an ifGroup is configured on the DD, the IP address selected in the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance protection policy is only used for the initial connection, and redirection (for example, for load balancing) occurs according to the ifGroup setting on the DD. LACP and other failover options on the DD work independently from what is selected in the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance policy.

The following examples and diagrams demonstrate common scenarios in PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance when an ifGroup is configured on the DD.

  • eth1 and eth2 1G
  • eth3, eth4, eth5, and eth6 10G
