In a single NIC configuration, you use one network interface. The AE Services server uses one NIC for the client, switch, media, OAM connectivity. The AE Services server, Communication Manager, and the client application computer must reside on a private LAN, a virtual LAN (VLAN), or a WAN.
In a single NIC configuration, you must configure the IP interface for the AE Services server to be accessible over the public Internet to register IP endpoints.
Note:
For NIC configuration, you must use the static IPv4 or static dual stack (IPv6 and IPv4) address (if applicable).
Caution:
If you need to use the IPv6 architecture, it must be dual stack (IPv6 and IPv4).
Only IPv6 is not supported.
From Release 10.1 and later, AE Services checks the NICs configuration, where the number of NICs should not be more than three, and the name of the NICs must be eth0 to eth2 (eth0, eth1 or eth2) depending on the number of NICs configured.
Important:
When you install the AE Services software, always use eth0 for a single NIC configuration.
See Required network interface (NIC) settings for more information.
