About multiple network interface support

BMR recovery occurs in two major stages: boot stage and restore files stage. The boot stage uses a single network interface to talk to the BMR boot server. Once the restore environment is loaded from the boot server, BMR configures and activates all network interfaces for the restore files stage.

Note:

Systems with multiple network interfaces are also known as multihomed systems. BMR fully support multihomed clients.

Figure: Simple multihomed example illustrates a configuration that can occur with multihomed clients. For this configuration, specify the network interface for Network 1 when you network boot the client.
