Enable Data Interface
Check this check box to enable the data interface and specify the following settings:
• IPv4 Address - Specify an IP address.
• IPv4 Subnet Mask - Specify a subnet mask.
• Data Gateway IP - Specify the data gateway IP address. The data gateway must be in the same network as the data interface.
• MTU - Specify the MTU value. The MTU is the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can send. The default
value is 1500.
3. Under Routing Table for <network interface> (for example, Routing Table for eth0_0), configure static routing in the routing
table if your device management network requires static routes. You can add or remove routes as described in following table.

Configuring Cloud Settings
You can specify cloud settings, replication scheduling, and bandwidth limit settings in the Configure > Storage > Cloud Settings
page. Replication is the process that transfers deduplicated data from Whitewater to the cloud asynchronously. A storage
replication service provides an extra measure of redundancy that can be invaluable if the main storage backup system fails.
Immediate access to the replicated data minimizes downtime and its associated costs. Replication streamlines disaster recovery
processes by generating duplicate copies of all backed-up files on a continuous basis. It can also simplify recovery from all types
of disasters including fire, flood, hurricane, virus, or worm.
Note: Before you configure cloud settings, configure DNS settings to access the cloud service provider host machine.
To configure cloud settings:
1. Choose Configure > Storage > Cloud Settings to display the Cloud Settings page, as shown in Figure 5.
