Configure Dual-NIC Support on the VA


 
NIC Terminology

Throughout this section, the terms NIC, network interface, and network adapter are used interchangeably.

Virtual Appliances support a dual-NIC configuration. This dual-NIC configuration is intended to enable the DMZ deployment of a VA for traffic segregation with one network interface. The network interface is used for outbound communication and the other network interface is used for internal communication.

Dual-NIC support has only been qualified on VAs running on Hyper-V and VMware. There is no change to existing behavior if the VA is deployed with a single NIC. Configuring more than two NICs on the VA is not supported.


 
When using the dual-NIC configuration, Secure Access does not support the configure of IPv6 addresses for network adapters.
