This article details how to configure the traffic interfaces up till version 2.13.4 of the ByteBlower Server. Newer versions allow for more flexibility and have a different UI. More information about the new version is found in this article.

A ByteBlower has 2 or more traffic interfaces on the Server. They are located on the back of the server and marked with a T (Trunking) or a NT (non-trunking). When you receive your system, it is pre-configured.

This article explains how to configure your ByteBlower Server traffic interfaces. These are the addresses shown when logging into the server. They are updated about once every hour.

Connect to your ByteBlower over ssh or through a keyboard and screen. Login into the system until you have the root-prompt. Start the ByteBlower-configurator tool.
