You can assign logical interfaces to a physical interface. Each logical interface must have its own VLAN ID, and can have its own set of (alias) IP addresses and prefixes. The configured name for each logical interface is visible on One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS)'s user interface only.

You can configure IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as well. IPv6 is intended for configuring monitored connections. Local services (including the web login) require IPv4 addresses. An interface can have multiple IP addresses, including a mix of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

NOTE: SPS does not support scenarios with two hosts using the same IP address on different VLAN groups.

To manage logical interfaces

  1. Navigate to Basic Settings > Network > Interfaces.

    Figure 78: Basic Settings > Network > Interfaces — Managing the logical interfaces

  2. If necessary, use the label on the SPS hardware to identify the physical interface to which you want to assign a logical interface.

  3. Choose to add a new logical interface. Provide the following:

    • VLAN: The VLAN ID of the logical interface. Optional.

      		 Caution:

      Do not set the VLAN ID unless your network environment is already configured to use this VLAN. Otherwise, your SPS appliance will be unavailable using this interface.

    • Address: The IP address of the logical interface.

      Alternatively, you can enter a hostname instead. SPS automatically resolves the hostname to an IP address.

      NOTE: Note the following limitations:

      • To resolve the hostnames, SPS uses the Domain Name Servers set in the Basic Settings > Network > Naming > Primary DNS server and Secondary DNS server fields.

      • If the Domain Name Server returns multiple IP addresses, SPS randomly selects from the list.

      NOTE: Do not use IP addresses that fall into the following ranges:

      • 1.2.0.0/16 (reserved for communication between SPS cluster nodes)

      • 127.0.0.0/8 (localhost IP addresses)

    • Prefix: The IP range of the logical interface.

    • Optional: To add additional (alias) IP addresses and prefixes to a logical interface, click . To remove an alias IP address, click the corresponding .

    • MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) to set per network interface (VLAN or network interface card). The default value is 1500.

    • Name: The name of the logical interface. This name is visible on SPS's user interface only.

    To remove a logical interface, choose the on the right side.
