Prior to this version, when configured with a single port, Alteon VA had a single IP address for all its entities – interfaces, VIPs, and PIPs. Starting with this version, this capability was also enhanced for an Alteon VA running with two ports.

In this mode, one port is assigned for management and the other port for data. All the entities on the data ports, interfaces, VIPs, and PIPs are set automatically to a single IP address, obtained through a DHCP server.

Currently this option is available on an Alteon VA running in DPDK mode under VMware.
