A network interface card (NIC) team is a software-based virtual network interface that provides fault tolerance in the event of a network interface card failure. On Deep Discovery Email Inspector, you can group one or more network interface cards in a NIC team.

Note:

  • Deep Discovery Email Inspector supports NIC teaming for active/backup mode only.

  • The management port is always bind to the eth0 interface. When grouped with the eth0 interface, the other network interface acts as a backup interface.

  • To function in SPAN/TAP mode, Deep Discovery Email Inspector requires at least three network interface cards that are not selected for NIC teaming.

  1. Go to Administration > System Settings > NIC Teaming.
  2. Under the NIC Teaming section, do the following:
    1. Toggle the status button to enable a NIC team.
    2. Select one or more network interface cards to add to the NIC team.
      Note:

      • You can group up to two network interface card in a NIC team.

      • A network interface card can only belong to one NIC team.

  3. Click Save.

    The system automatically restarts. This may take some time. Wait for the process to complete before you can access the management console again.
