Affected Product & Version - NetVault: Backup 7.x-8.x
Affected Module & Version -
OS Version - MacOSX 10.x
Application Information - N/A
Description:
Backups continue to push data across the IP address associated with the first active port even though that port has been configured as a "Barred" Network via the NetVault Configurator.
While the server receives network traffic on any active port, network traffic initiated by the server is routed through the first active port.
This type of configuration can lead to a situation where a request is sent to one network interface and is responded to by a different network interface. A response that is received from a different interface than the one that the request was sent to may be disregarded as invalid and prevent proper functionality.
Solution:
To avoid this, do one of the following:
* If you need both IP addresses on the same computer, configure one physical interface with two IP addresses as described here.
* If you need both physical interfaces connected to a network, configure two independent subnets and connect each interface to one subnet.
* If you are attempting to increase available network bandwidth to the server, see the following links:
