Possible IP Interface Configurations
When the initial software configuration procedure described in Initial Setup is performed, the setup Privileged EXEC command that was run by default configures the physical interfaces on the NAB in a LAG named lag1.
However, independent IP interfaces are also supported for the physical interfaces on the NAB. The following procedures provide an example of other configuration possibilities. The configuration presented in each procedure features an eight-port NAB‑0801ET, but the same steps apply in principle with NAB models with a lesser number of ports.
- Configuring Independent IP Interfaces for all NAB Ports
- Configuring a Mixture of Independent & LAG-grouped IP Interfaces
Configuring Independent IP Interfaces for all NAB Ports
To configure independent IP interfaces for all eight NAB ports on NAB-0801ET:
For NAB models with a different number of ports, the same steps apply but substitute the proper interface ports: for a NAB-0401ET, substitute interface ports 1/5/1 through 1/5/4; for a NAB-0610EM, substitute interface ports 1/1/1 through
1/1/6; for a NAB-0210EM, substitute interface ports 1/1/1 and 1/1/2.
- Decommission all NAB ports from lag1 on a port by port basis:
- Create and configure independent IP interfaces (primary, backup, and static) for all the NAB ports under the Message Backbone VRF:
- (Optional) If required for your network, configure the IP route for the Message Backbone VRF:

Primary, backup, and static IP interfaces must use valid IP addresses, and the primary, backup and static IP interfaces used by a NAB port should be part of the same IP subnet. This requirement is not enforced by the system.

Configuring a Mixture of Independent & LAG-grouped IP Interfaces
To configure a mixture of independent and LAG grouped IP interfaces, whereby NAB ports 1/1/6 and 1/1/8 are decommissioned from lag1 on NAB-0801ET:
For NAB models with a different number of ports, the same steps apply but substitute the proper interface ports: for a NAB-0401ET, substitute interface ports 1/5/1 through 1/5/4; for a NAB-0610EM, substitute interface ports 1/1/1 through 1/1/6; for a NAB-0210EM, substitute interface ports 1/1/1 and 1/1/2.
- Decommission NAB ports 1/1/6 and 1/1/8 from lag1:
solace(configure)# interface 1/1/lag1 solace(configure/interface)# no member 1/1/6 solace(configure/interface)# no member 1/1/8 solace(configure/interface)# exit
- Create and configure independent IP interfaces (primary, backup, and static) for NAB ports 1/1/6 and 1/1/8 under the Message Backbone VRF:
- (Optional) If required for your network, configure the IP route for the Message Backbone VRF:
