Does Core Support Multiple NICs?

This article applies to all MetaDefender Core releases deployed on Windows and Linux systems.

Answer

Yes, MetaDefender Core supports multiple NICs. However, when using multiple NICs, there is a potential concern that the Deployment ID might change.

Starting from Core version 5.13.0, we support maintaining a consistent Deployment ID, even on machines with multiple NICs.

Maintain a Stable Deployment ID with Multiple NICs

Here are some points to maintain a stable Deployment ID when using multiple NICs:

  1. Keep MAC addresses consistent – Ensure that the MAC addresses of all NICs remain unchanged.
  2. Maintain a stable hostname – The hostname should not be altered.
  3. If you are using teamed NICs – Configure them so that the MAC address remains the same after a reboot.

For more details, please refer to Does the Deployment ID change at any time?
