Networking

Use each product installer page as the deployment runbook. This page is a cross-product reference.

Fixed KVM NAT Addressing

These guest NAT addresses are different from the KVM host Management IP. In multi-host DP deployments, each physical KVM host has its own local NAT network, so the same DL/DA NAT addresses can exist on different hosts.

DP Cluster Network

The DP cluster interface is separate from the NAT management interface. The examples use:
  • DL Master: 192.168.12.25/24
  • DL Worker 1: 192.168.12.26/24
  • DA Master: 192.168.12.50/24
Cluster addresses must be unique. Identify the actual cluster NIC with show interface all.

Sensor Data Path

Standalone Sensor supports NAT or Bridge management and PCI Passthrough or Bridge SPAN attachment. The documented AIO + Sensor path uses NAT management and PCI Passthrough for Sensor SPAN.

SR-IOV and PCI Passthrough

  • DP can use SR-IOV for cluster networking.
  • Sensor SPAN can use PCI Passthrough where supported.
  • IOMMU/VT-d or AMD-Vi must be enabled for direct device assignment.

Network Conversion

Step 3 in the active installer families performs NIC naming / ifupdown conversion and network configuration, then may reboot the host.
Confirm console or out-of-band access before network conversion. A wrong NIC or address selection can remove remote connectivity.
