Configuring ETKMSs

Configure the Network Connection

The eth0 connection is the network connection with a path to the management workstation running ETPM and to the PEPs’ management port. The eth1 connection is inactive and unavailable. Set the network connection as required by your network configuration, but it is recommended that you set a static IP address. You can assign both an IPv4 address and IPv6 address, if needed.

NOTE

If any of your ETEPs are configured with IPv6 addresses, you must configure the ETKMS and the management workstation to use an IPv6 address instead of, or in addition to, an IPv4 address. If the ETKMS software is configured with an IPv4 address only, it cannot initiate connections to ETEPs that have IPv6 addresses. ETPM will not allow you to deploy a policy that includes an IPv4 ETKMS and IPv6 ETEPs.

12At the command line, restart the network service by typing service network restart and press Enter.

13At the command line, restart the ETKMS service by typing service etkms restart and press Enter.

Verify the IP Address and Hostname Changes

You can use the following commands to verify the IP address and hostname changes:

●At the command line, type ifconfig and press Enter to view the IP address.

●At the command line, type hostname and press Enter to view the full hostname, such as serv4.company.com.
