You can change the storage node network settings to give the node a new set of network attributes.

You can see the network settings for a storage node on the Network Settings page when you log in to the node (https://<node IP>:442/hcc/node/network-settings). You can select either Bond1G (management) or Bond10G (storage) settings. The following list describes the settings that you can modify when a storage node is in Available, Pending, or Active state:

  • Method

    The method used to configure the interface. Possible methods:

    • loopback: Used to define the IPv4 loopback interface.

    • manual: Used to define interfaces for which no configuration is done by default.

    • dhcp: Used to obtain an IP address via DHCP.

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

  • Link Speed

    The speed negotiated by the virtual NIC.
