Configure Network Parameters

Configure the Roving Edge Device network settings through your controlling host that's connected to the serial port.

Note

For a list of serial console commands, see Operating the Serial Console

From the controlling host terminal window, select the Configure the Network menu option. The following options are displayed:
- Set Node IP Settings (Current Node Only): Set the node IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
- Display Settings: Show the current network settings.
- Set Public IP Pool Range for Compute Instances: Set the external IP address pool for compute instances. IP addresses are allocated from this pool when an instance is created with public IP address assigned to it. This operation removes the current external IP address pool, and replaces it with the ranges from the new input.
- Display Public IP Pool Status: Show the current public IP pool range.
- Control Network Ports: Enable or disable network ports.
- Configure DNS: Configure the DNS servers for the current node control plane. Reboot the device for the DNS configurations to take effect, if the device is already unlocked.
- Configure Subnet Gateway: Configure the gateway for a given subnet. The destination can be the default IGW or a private IP Address. You can perform the following tasks:
  - Show Configuration: Show the current subnet gateway configuration. The output shows whether the destination is IGW or a private IP address for each subnet.
  - Update Configuration: Update the current subnet gateway configuration. For example:
```
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Idx  Subnet CIDR      DNS Label     Gateway
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1    10.0.1.0/24      Subnet-1      10.0.2.2
2    10.0.2.0/24      Subnet-2      IGW
3    10.0.3.0/24      Subnet-3      IGW
                                    
Enter Subnet Index: 1
Enter the gateway (IGW or private IP address) for this subnet:
```
- Configure NTP: Perform the following NTP configuration tasks:
  - Display NTP Configuration: Configure external NTP servers. For example:
```
Local Time and RTC
Local time: Fri 2022-05-13 04:26:41 UTC
Universal time: Fri 2022-05-13 04:26:41 UTC
RTC time: Fri 2022-05-13 04:26:43
Time zone: UTC (UTC, +0000)
NTP enabled: n/a
NTP synchronized: no
RTC in local TZ: no
DST active: n/a
```
  - Update NTP configuration: Identify the primary and secondary servers that set up the NTP configuration for the device.
- Reset Network: Reset the network by erasing all the network configurations such as Node IP, Public pool, DNS, NTP, and Gateway.
- Help: Display online help for the Network Configuration menu options.
- Go Back: Return to the main serial console menu.
Use the menu options to configure the device network parameters according to your network environment. At minimum, configure these parameters:
- Network settings
- DNS
- NTP
