Change Appliance Network Address
Appliance IP addresses are static by default. Hence, changing the IP address of the appliance is a 4-steps process.
Change the IP of a network device by editing the network configuration file. (E.g. for network card eth0)
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Change the values of IPADDR and NETMASK fields
ifcfg-eth0#My IP description # IPv-4 DEVICE="eth0" NM_CONTROLLED="yes" ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=00:ee:dd:cc:bb:aa TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=static NAME="System eth0" UUID=aaaabbbb-7777-8888-9999-aaaabbbbcccc IPADDR= 192.168.0.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0
Use the command - ip addr show to see a device's IP address
When the appliance is moved to a different network subnet - Change the Default gateway
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
Change the value of the GATEWAY field in the file
/etc/sysconfig/networkNETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=server1.example.com GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 [...]
Use the command - ip route show to see a device's IP address
Change DNS name (Optional step) - DNS can be added or changed in the file /etc/resolv.conf
vi /etc/resolv.conf
Change or add Domain Name Servers if required.
resolv.conf[...] nameserver 192.168.1.1 nameserver 192.168.1.2 [...]
Restart the network service
restart network servicesservice network restart
Edit the /etc/hosts file
Change all the entries referring to the old IP address to use the new IP address. For example:
restart network services192.168.65.175 montier-management 192.168.65.175 montier-syslog 192.168.65.175 montier-wsm 192.168.65.175 montier-ext-eth
No need to change entries using the IP address 127.0.0.1
- Stop and Start all system services.
- In the web console navigate to system → nodes and edit the IP address of the agents in your data node raw.
- Re-configure syslog for the default domain on each monitored device (the Setup Syslog for device on the Device Management section)
