Add Interface to NodeEnter an interface name in either dotted decimal format or an alphabetic name and click OK. In addition to adding nodes, you can add an interface to a node, corresponding to an alias address or an additional network interface card. You can store as many IP addresses per node as you want. This might be important if you have more than one network adapter in a node, or if you have multiple virtual IP addresses (alias addresses) configured onto a single physical network adapter. A node can have multiple interfaces, and these interfaces can be listed in the node interface list of services. However, for any given node, each interface must be in the node interface list of a different service. Or, only one interface per node can be in the node interface list of any one service. Using this mechanism, you could, for example, have three different applications running on a node. Each application is bound to, and accessed via its own interface. Each application corresponds to a service, and each service has one of the interfaces in its node interface list. Multiple such nodes could be configured, and via this configuration, you can load balance between the services of each of them.
