Avamar GEN4T using dedicated replication ports
Lets say we have Avamar on Backup IP 10.X ( port 1 and 2 )
Lets say replication IP on Avamar is set to 172.x . (port 3 and 4)
This Avamar is integrated with DD on 10.x IP.
We were able to add target avamar on source using 172.x IP. This is replication tab.
When we start replication from source AV/DD , I want to make sure we are using dedicated ports for replication on Avamar (2) and DD over the WAN using 172.x for both source and traget .
Does this network setting make the data to pass between dedicated ports on source to dedicated replication ports on destination for both AV / DD ?

On the Avamar side, this depends on the routing configuration.
If 172.x on the source and target are on the same subnet, configuring the Avamar replication to point to the target's 172.x address will ensure the data is sent across the dedicated replication network. However, if there is a gateway in between these two devices, you will likely need to specify a static route on the Avamar to ensure the packets are sent out the 172.x interface. If the source and target are on different networks and there is no static route, the data will be sent from the 10.x backup network on the source to the 172.x replication network on the target which is probably not what you want.
For the DD side, data transit is controlled by DDBoost. Dedicated replication interfaces are normally configured on the DD side using ifgroups. Avamar will ask the source DD to copy data to the target but how the data actually gets there is controlled on the DD side.
