Can I create a virtual interface/VLAN on a DMA server, so that some devices I'm polling could reside within their dedicated management network? The DataMiner Server is located in the main corporate network where it's also polling other devices that are not located in this dedicated management network. Is this something supported?
Hi Glenn,
I believe this is not so much about configuration in DataMiner or the OS, but more of a configuration in the network. The DMA has in your case 2 NICs, one connected to the management network, one connected to an acquisition network. Now you want to involve a third network, also for acquisition. This network or VLAN will need to be brought to the server via one of those 2 existing NICs, because those are the only physical NICs present and you always have to bring the IP packets to the server on one of the physical NICs because the packets need to get to the server one way or another. This needs to be done by the IP network, by configuring the routers and switches correctly (add multiple VLANs on certain ports). Then you can create an additional IP address in that third VLAN on the correct NIC in DataMiner and DataMiner will be able to communicate to those devices. There are probably also other ways to do this by creating virtual NICs, but I'm mentioning here the easiest method.
