Configuring to use static addressing
You can configure a virtual machine in a network to use static addressing.
About this task
Network settings you specify are only committed to the Integration Appliance when you run the net restart command. If a system reboot occurs before you commit your network settings, those network settings are lost.
Procedure
- Using the virtual machine console, log in to the virtual
machine with the default user name and password.
- localhost login: admin
- Password: !n0r1t5@C
localhost>
- 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
- Set the host name for the management interface: localhost>
net set hostname static appliancehostname. Once the host machine is restarted at the end of this
procedure, the prompt changes to the following setting:
hostname>
- Set the DNS domain name: localhost> net set domain static domain-name
- Set the DNS name server: localhost> net set nameserver static dns-ipaddress
- Set the network address for the data interface: localhost> net set interface edata address ipaddress mask netmask bcast broadcast
- Set the network address for the management interface: localhost> net set interface emgmt address ipaddress mask netmask bcast broadcast
- Set the gateway address: localhost> net set gateway static ip-address emgmt
- Disable searching the domain list: localhost> net set search none
- Set the Network timeserver to the appropriate setting for
your environment:
- If you have a timeserver on your network: localhost> net set ntp static ntp-address
- If you do not have a timeserver on your network: localhost> net set ntp none
- Review the settings: localhost> net show memory
- Apply the network settings: localhost> net restart
- 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
Note: As network settings are applied, you can expect the runtime to be down. - Monitor the state of the network: hostname> net show status The network settings have been applied when status of the Current activity lists Monitoring network.
- Verify the settings you entered using this command: hostname> net show active
- Reset any address that is incorrect. If you run net show all, the EData display as disabled.
- Log out hostname> exit The session closes.
