The network (bonded interfaces) object contains configuration information for bonded network interfaces on a storage node. You can use the GetConfig and GetNetworkConfig methods to obtain this information for a storage node.

Object members

This object contains the following members:

Name

Description

Type

address

The IPv4 address assigned to this interface on the node.

string

addressV6

The IPv6 management address assigned to the Bond1G interface on the node.

string

bond-downdelay

Time to wait, in milliseconds, before disabling a slave after a link failure has been detected.

string

bond-fail_over_mac

The configuration of the MAC address of the network interface.

string

bond-miimon

The frequency, in milliseconds, at which the MII link state is inspected for link failures.

string

bond-mode

The bonding mode. Possible values:

  • ActivePassive (Default)

  • ALB

  • LACP (Recommended)

string

bond-primary_reselect

Specifies when the primary bond slave is chosen as the active slave. Possible values:

  • Always

  • Better

  • Failure

string

bond-slaves

The list of slave interfaces for the bond.

string

bond-lacp_rate

When Bond Mode is LACP, the rate may change to one of the following:

  • LACP Fast (Default)

  • LACP Slow

string

bond-updelay

The time, in milliseconds, to wait before enabling a slave after a link is detected.

string

dns-nameservers

A list of addresses used for domain name services, separated by comma or space.

string

dns-search

A space or comma separated list of DNS search domains.

string

family

Address family that the interface is configured to use. Currently "inet" for IPv4 is supported.

string

gateway

The IPv4 router network address used to send traffic from the local network.

string

gatewayV6

The IPv6 router network address used to send traffic from the local Bond1G network.

string

ipV6PrefixLength

The subnet prefix length for static routes of type "net" for IPv6 traffic on the Bond1G network.

string

macAddress

The actual MAC address assigned to the interface and observed by the network.

string

macAddressPermanent

The immutable MAC address assigned by the manufacturer to the interface.

string

method

The method used to configure the interface. Possible values:

  • Loopback: Used to define the IPv4 loopback interface.

  • manual: Used to define interfaces that are not configured automatically.

  • dhcp: Can be used to obtain an IP address via DHCP.

  • static: Used to define Ethernet interfaces with statically allocated IPv4 addresses.

string

mtu

The largest packet size (in bytes) that the interface can transmit. Must be greater than or equal to 1500; up to 9000 is supported.

string

netmask

The bitmask that specifies the subnet for the interface.

string

network

Indicates where the IP address range begins based on the netmask.

string

routes

Comma separated array of route strings to apply to the routing table.

string array

status

The state of the interface. Possible values:

  • Down: The interface is inactive.

  • Up: The interface is ready, but has no link.

  • UpAndRunning: The interface is ready and a link is established.

string

symmetricRouteRules

The symmetric routing rules configured on the node.

string array

upAndRunning

Indicates if the interface is ready and has a link.

boolean

virtualNetworkTag

The virtual network identifier of the interface (VLAN tag).

string

Member modifiability and node states

This table indicates whether or not the object parameters can be modified at each possible node state.
