CREATE NETWORK INTERFACE
Identifies a network interface to which a node belongs.
Use this statement when you want to configure import/export operations from individual nodes to other Vertica clusters. By default, when you install Vertica, it creates interfaces for all connected networks. You would only need CREATE NETWORK INTERFACE in situations where the network topology has changed since you installed Vertica.
Do not confuse this statement with CREATE NETWORK ADDRESS, which is used to identify network addresses for connection load balancing (see Connection Load Balancing Policies).
Syntax
CREATE NETWORK INTERFACE network‑interface‑name ON node‑name [WITH] 'node‑IP‑address' [PORT port-number] [ENABLED | DISABLED]
| network‑interface‑name |
The name you assign to the network interface, where network‑interface‑name conforms to conventions described in Identifiers. |
| node‑name |
The name of the node. |
| node‑IP‑address |
The node's IP address, either a public or private IP address. For more information, see Using Public and Private IP Networks. |
| PORT port-number | Sets the port number for the network interface. You must supply a network interface when altering the port number. |
| [ENABLED | DISABLED] | Enables or disables the network interface. |
