Configuring to use DHCP addressing

You can configure a virtual machine in a network to use a DHCP server for addressing.

Procedure

  1. Using the virtual machine console, log in to the virtual machine with the default user name and password.
    • localhost login: admin
    • Password: !n0r1t5@C
    The following prompt displays:
    localhost>
    Note: The keyboard mapping of the vSphere Client terminal uses a US layout. If your workstation keyboard uses another layout, your login attempt might fail.
  2. Assign the host name and IP address in the DNS server for the following interfaces:
    • Host name and IP address for the data interface
    • Host name and IP address for the management interface
    The data interface is used by the integration appliance during run time to communicate to endpoints on the network, for example a database server. The management interface is used to communicate with the integration appliance from the WMC.
  3. Enter the following settings:
    • MAC address for the data interface
    • Hostname assigned to the data interface in the DNS server
    • MAC address for the management interface
    • Hostname assigned to the management interface in the DNS server
    • Hostname assigned to the BMC interface in the DNS server
  4. Apply the network settings: localhost> net restart
  5. Monitor the status of the system, by repetitively issuing the following command:localhost> system show status. As the network settings are applied, the network status transitions through the following states:
    • Up
    • Stopping
    • Starting
    • Up
  6. Monitor the state of the network: localhost> net show status. The network settings have been applied when status of the Current activity lists Monitoring network.
  7. Verify the data and management interface network settings, using the following command: localhost> net show active
  8. Reset any address that is incorrect. If you run net show all, the EData display as disabled.
  9. Verify the connection to the management interface using the WMC.
