No Internet Connection After Enabling Separate Management Interface

If you try to configure the separate management interface and the data interface in the same segment in IWSVA, a warning message displays. You can ignore this warning message and continue configuration. When you enable the separate management interface, IWSVA responds to eligible Web requests on one of the two interfaces.

Client Internet requests are sent to the separate management interface on the IWSVA server due to the following:

• A higher-priority route is assigned to the separate management interface.

• Client computers have the same ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) entries for the data interface and separate management interface

Since the separate management interface does not carry user data, IWSVA will not process Internet requests and, thus, Internet connection is not available for users through the separate management interface.

Solution

When you enable the separate management interface, make sure you set the data interface and the management interface in different network segments.

For example, configure the data interface in the 192.168.10.X/24 network segment and configure the separate management interface in the 10.204. 170.0/24 network segment.
