→ Applies to: Hyperion 9.x and above

All commands in this article are intended to be executed via Hyperion CLI.

Step 1. Connect to Hyperion appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

Step 2. Become Super User

sudo su

Step 3 (optional). Install the package

rpm -ivh https://storage.googleapis.com/syneto_public_files/downloads/Syneto-Tools/Networking/syneto-nmctl-0.5.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

If the package is already installed, you do not need to run this command.

Step 4. List physical interfaces

syneto-nmctl list physical

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

=== Physical Interfaces ===
em1 [link up] - Ethernet 1000baseT
enp71s0f3u1u1c2 [link up] - Ethernet (unknown speed)
em2 [link up] - Ethernet 1000baseT

Make note of the name of the physical interfaces to add to the vSwitch.

Step 5. List all vSwitches

syneto-nmctl vswitch list

EXAMPLE

syneto-nmctl vswitch list

=== Virtual Switches ===
--- General purpose Virtual Switches ---
Management Network        vswitch0     bridge   activated
  └─ em2 (Management Uplink)
cni0                      cni0         bridge   activated
virbr0                    virbr0       bridge   activated

--- VLAN-Dedicated Virtual Switches ---

Make note of the vSwitch where the second uplink needs to be added.

Step 6. Add an additional uplink to an existing vSwitch (replace <vswitch_name>, <uplink1> and <uplink2> with the correct information)

syneto-nmctl vswitch change --name <vswitch_name> --uplink <uplink1>,<uplink2>

EXAMPLE

syneto-nmctl vswitch change --name vswitch0 --uplink em1,em2
