However what I discovered is there is no easy way to reconfigure the IP addresses just from the management console. As the appliance is based on Centos Linux, you can use basic Linux commands to change the IP address.
For this, you will need either direct console access or SSH.
As you will be changing the IP address and a disconnection will be required, I advise connecting via the direct console.
- Log on to the Virtual Appliance as root
(Default username is 'root'; default password is eaton) - Use vi to modify the ifcfg-eth0 file
#vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Update with the following lines:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPV6INIT=no
IPADDR=x.x.x.x
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
Then, save and close (:wq) - Use vi to modify the sysconfig/network file
#vi /etc/sysconfig/network
Update with the following lines:
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost
DOMAINNAME=localdom
GATEWAY=x.x.x.x
Then, save and close (:wq) - Restart the network service to have settings take affect
#service network restart
