About network management
You can perform network-related operations in the > Network panel. You can find the details of the network settings for the data network, management network, appliance management console, DNS, and the IPMI network for the cluster.
The data network that is created during the initial configuration is the primary network and the new data networks added by the user after the initial configuration are the secondary data networks.
> displays the data networks configured in the cluster. You can add new secondary data networks and modify or delete existing secondary data networks. You can perform interface bonding at the time of initial configuration or after cluster configuration. You can also create a bond of interfaces, modify the existing bond modes and Maximum Transmission Value (MTU), display current bond mode and remove bond(s). There may be network disruptions when you perform bonding operations.
See Data network configurations.

You can modify the DNS details for both data and management network.
Enabling the DNS server is optional. You can configure the cluster such that both the data and management network do not have DNS.

It includes information such as:
Routing settings
This includes details such as the subnet mask and gateway of IPv4 addresses and details such as prefix length and router address of IPv6 addresses.
Management interfaces
Specifies the management interface assignment for each node in the cluster.
> displays the details about the IPMI network, if configured.
It includes information such as:
Routing settings
This includes details such as the subnet mask and gateway of IPv4 addresses and details such as prefix length and router address of IPv6 addresses.
IPMI interfaces
Specifies the IPMI interface assignment for each node in the cluster.
specifies the network settings for the appliance management console. If you did not configure the management network earlier, these settings apply only on the data network.
The following details are displayed:
Console IP
API Gateway IP
API Gateway node
API Gateway FQDN
Console FQDN, if it is configured on the cluster.
Note:
If you deploy a cluster with only media servers, only the console IP is displayed.
> lets you configure custom host files for cluster nodes or NetBackup services using a hosts file to map host names and domains to IP addresses.
> lets you configure static routes on a cluster to communicate with remote clients who are on a different subnet, if the default route is not suitable.
