Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume II

REQUIRED_INTERFACE entry in vm.conf

This entry specifies the name of the network interface that the media server uses to connect to another media server.

REQUIRED_INTERFACE = host_name

A NetBackup server can have more than one network interface, and by default the operating system determines the one to use. To force NetBackup to connect through a specific network interface, use REQUIRED_INTERFACE and specify the name of that network interface.
