The number of Ethernet interfaces
that can be managed by
WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance vary depending on which type of appliance you are using.

Ethernet interfaces must be configured on the same network and
must be reachable. If you choose to configure more network interface
cards (NIC), each NIC that is configured provides one extra gigabit
of bandwidth. The total amount of bandwidth is limited by the network
capacity.
Note: If you are using eth1 or eth2, then your
switch must be enabled for auto-negotiation.

For the type 7199-92x appliance, use either the 1 gigabit or
10-gigabit Ethernet ports for your data grid. You must use either
all 1-gigabit ports or all 10-gigabit ports. You cannot change between
the port types after your initial configuration. Connect the management
port at
MGMT0 (L).
If you edit the Ethernet interfaces
for a stand-alone appliance, you must clear the configuration and
restart the appliance after you change the settings. If the appliance
is in a collective, you cannot update the Ethernet interfaces.
