Setting Up the DX Object Storage Platform

3 Connect the Ethernet cable(s) for the external and internal network

accordingly. See Figure 3-5.

4 Turn on the DX Cluster Services Node.
5 Change the IP address of the external network interface to a new valid IP

address from the

Content Services Configuration page of the DX Cluster

Services Administration console.
The first half of the Ethernet ports on the additional network adapter

automatically bonds with the existing network ports on the external

network and the second half automatically bonds with the existing

network ports on the internal private network.

NOTE:

The external network interface IP address can be set back to its original

value. Modifying the external network IP address detects and bonds the additional

network ports.
