Configuring network address settings on the appliance nodes

You can configure the network settings for the eth1 network interface of an appliance node. If eth1 is already configured, the new network settings overwrite the earlier network configuration. You cannot change the configuration from the Appliance Shell Menu when the node is already a part of the cluster.

Note:

Review IPv4-IPv6 support information before you begin.

See About IPv4-IPv6-based network support on the Access Appliance.

To configure the appliance node to communicate with one network:

  1. Log on to the Access Appliance shell menu on the desired node.
  2. Enter the following command to verify which network ports and bonds are plugged and available for configuration:

    show network interface

  3. Enter the following command to configure the appliance to connect to a single network:

    set network interface ip=ipaddress netmask=netmask gateway=gateway-ipaddress

    • ipaddress: The new IPv4 address that you want to assign to the network interface.

    • netmask: The subnet mask (IPv4) or prefix length (IPv6).

    • gateway-ipaddress: The default gateway for the appliance node.

    ip, netmask, and gateway are required parameters.

    For example:

    set network interface ip=10.180.2.3 netmask=255.255.255.0 
gateway=10.180.2.1

    Note:

    You should not use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the same command. For example:

    set network interface gateway=1.1.1.1 ip=9ffe::9 netmask=255.255.255.0
