Max network interfaces supported by Networker vProxy
Hi,
I've see, deploying the last ova for Networker vProxy, that via ova GUI is possibile to define 2 network interfaces only.
Does it mean that max 2 network interfaces are supported on a vProxy ? May I add a third interface later on using commands on the vproxy?
There is a document where is stated max num of network interfaces supported?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion/reply

There is a difference between what is supported and what might (not) work.
Initially vproxies only allowed one single nic (almost as-if the were contemplating customers wouldn't be able to deal with CLI to arrange and configure the vproxies once deployed?), whereas its predecessor VBA appliance allowed two. It took some time before it officially mentioned vproxies supporting two nics during deployment, even though we were already using vproxies with 2 nics at the time unsupported here and there.
Nowadays nw19.8 documentation states for example for the upgrade (or rather re-deployment of a higher version) of the vproxy:
https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/networker/nw_p_vmware_integration/upgrading-the-vproxy-appliance?guid=guid-c1c25a32-4883-48f2-bd6e-6a93927e3bd7&lang=en-us
"The nsrvproxy_mgmt command supports out-of-place upgrade of any version of vProxy. The command ensures that the same configurations are retained post redeployment such as, vProxy VM name in the vCenter, user configured specific MAC addresses in the firewall restrictions in the datazone, dual NIC configurations, hotadd and NBD session limits."
So it might only take into account dual nics, not when having added more... Dell is still living in a more or less flat network (where everything can reach anything), as dual or even multi nic environments, seem to spook them out? We tend to shield of traffic and access, not something Dell seems to be too keen on?
