Network interfaces properties

Use the Network Interfaces property sheet of the Change Configuration dialog box to add or remove interfaces or change the network identity that is associated with an interface.

The Original Network Information is read-only. The New Network Information shows the values that are used for the restore. If the configuration was not edited, the top panes and bottom panes show the same information.

In the Java-based Administration Console, changes occur when you make them.

Table: Network interface mapping actions describes the actions you can initiate from the dialog box.

Table: Network interface mapping actions

Action	Description
Initialize	Opens a dialog box from which you can select a configuration to import. Only the hardware information from the configuration is imported, not the network identity. The interfaces from the imported configuration replace the interfaces in the New Network Information window.
Unmap All	Unmaps all mapped interfaces in the New Network Information window and changes all interfaces in the Original Network Information window to Unmapped. The unmapping removes the name, IP addresses, network masks, gateways, and DHCP and bootable attributes. MAC addresses are not removed.
Map	Right-click an interface in the Original Network Information window and select Map from the shortcut menu. In the Map Interface dialog box, select an interface in which to map the IP address, netmask, and domain name from the source network card. The MAC address of the original interface is not mapped to the target interface. See Map or Change Interface dialog box.
Unmap	Right-click an interface in the New Network Information window and select Unmap from the shortcut menu. The unmapping of an interface removes the name, IP addresses, network masks, and DHCP and bootable attributes. MAC addresses are not removed.
Change	Right-click an interface in the New Network Information window and select Change from the shortcut menu. See Map or Change Interface dialog box.
