Changing the Management IP Address

Managing Appliances

ETEMS uses the appliance’s 10/100 Ethernet management port to communicate with the appliance. The management IP address in ETEMS must match the address of the appliance for successful communication. To keep the two configurations in sync you can make either of the following changes:

●Push a new IP address to the appliance from ETEMS (see “Changing the Address on the Appliance” on page 118)

●Update ETEMS with the appliance’s new IP address. You need to do this when the management IP address has been changed directly on the appliance (see “Changing the Address in ETEMS” on page 119).

Changing the Address on the Appliance

You can change the management IP address that is configured on an appliance from ETEMS.

If the appliance supports IPv6 addressing, the editor allows you to change either the IPv4 or IPv6 address, depending on the address preference. If the management port address preference is set to Use IPv6, focus is applied to the IPv6 address. Otherwise, focus is applied to the IPv4 address. IPv6 addressing is supported on ETEP appliances that are running software version 1.6 and later.

To change the management IP address on the appliance:

1In the Appliance Manager, select an appliance from the Appliances view.

2On the Edit menu, click Management Address. The Change Management IP window opens (Figure 37).

3In the IP Address To field, type the management port IP address.

4In the Subnet Mask To field, confirm the subnet mask and change if necessary.

5In the Default Gateway To field, confirm the default gateway and change if necessary.

6Click Finish to apply the new address to the appliance.

When the change is complete ETEMS refreshes the Appliances view. If ETEMS is unable to update the management IP address, it displays the reason for the failure.
