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

  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 is displayed::
    localhost>
  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. 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>
  4. Set the DNS domain name: localhost> net set domain static domain-name
  5. Set the DNS name server: localhost> net set nameserver static dns-ipaddress
  6. Set the network address for the data interface: localhost> net set interface edata address ipaddress mask netmask bcast broadcast
  7. Set the network address for the management interface: localhost> net set interface emgmt address ipaddress mask netmask bcast broadcast
  8. Set the gateway address: localhost> net set gateway static ip-address emgmt
  9. Disable searching the domain list: localhost> net set search none
  10. 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
  11. Review the settings: localhost> net show memory
  12. Apply the network settings: localhost> net restart
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Verify the settings you entered using this command: hostname> net show active
  16. Reset any address that is incorrect. If you run net show all, the EData display as disabled.
  17. Log out hostname> exit The session closes.
