The Linux-based Manager supports dual NIC. It means you can configure both public and private IP addresses for the Linux-based Manager.
You can configure the public and private IP addresses for the NIC interfaces using interface ether<1 or 2> ip address <<IP address><netmask>> command in the Manager shell. After configuring the IP address, execute show configuration command to view the configuration details.
Considerations:
The private IP address is for Manager-Sensor and MDR communication. Therefore, you must configure the MDR pair using the private IP address.
Dual NIC is not supported in the Linux-based Central Manager.
Dual NIC is not supported in the Nutanix hypervisor.
The Manager and Central Manager communication is supported over the Public IP address only. Therefore, you must configure the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Central Manager using the public IP address.
The Manager GUI is accessible using the public IP address.
Consider a Linux-based Manager deployment configured with dual NICs. The Manager here is in an MDR pair and managed by a Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Central Manager in an MDR pair. In this scenario, the Manager MDR pair and Manager-Sensor communication take place over the private IP address, whereas the public IP address is used for the Manager-Central Manager communication and GUI accessibility.
