Hi, there's no effect on management interface if you mad a change on edge interface. There are two different communication interfaces

not directly affect

Yes, in Sangfor HCI, changing the management interface can potentially affect the Edge interface, depending on the network configuration.

The management interface typically handles administrative traffic, but in some configurations, it may also interact with other interfaces, such as the Edge interface, which could be responsible for external traffic routing and connectivity

No it will not. The Edge interface will not get affect if the management interface changed?

no it will not be affected

In a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) setup, the management interface and the edge interface typically serve different purposes. The management interface is used for administration and monitoring of the HCI system, while the edge interface is often used for data traffic and communication with external networks.

Impact of Changing the Management Interface on the Edge Interface:

Separation of Functions: Generally, if the management and edge interfaces are configured correctly, changing the management interface should not directly affect the edge interface. They operate on different network segments.

Network Configuration: Ensure that the network configuration does not inadvertently link the management and edge interfaces. If both interfaces share the same physical network or subnet, changes to the management interface might affect routing or network policies that could impact the edge interface.

Firewall Rules: If you have firewall rules or security policies that depend on the management interface's IP, those rules may need to be updated to reflect the new configuration.

Service Dependencies: If there are services that depend on the management interface for communication (e.g., monitoring tools), make sure those are reconfigured to avoid any disruptions that could indirectly affect operations.

Testing Post-Change: After changing the management interface, it's advisable to test the edge interface functionality to ensure that all services are operational.
