Does Core Support Multiple NICs?

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.
