Add a Port

Use this optional procedure to add a port interface that provides access to the admin interface of the container application. This can be any data interface on the Universal Compute Platform.
Note

Note

Some container applications, such as Tunnel Concentrator, require you to configure a VRRP address on one of the Universal Compute Platform data ports. The VRRP address, which gets assigned to the container application during installation, creates an alias that provides access to the underlying management interface for the application instance.
Note

Note

After you have defined an engine instance IP address for the container application admin interface, you are able to access that container application from a web browser through the defined IP address.

To add a new port interface, take the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Administration > System > Network Setup.
  2. From the Interfaces pane, select Add New Interface.
  3. Configure the Interface Properties for the port. For help with the fields and their settings, see Create New Interface Settings.

    Provide a VIP for each engine instance in your deployment.
