Checking and Changing the Network Configuration
On Roving Edge devices, you can view the base network configuration of the physical device. The option to change this configuration must only be used when a network issue cannot be resolved through the Service CLI.
See the following sections:
Displaying the Network Configuration
- Connect to the serial console. See Operating the Serial Console.
-
Enter the number for Network Configuration.
-
Enter the number for Display IP Configuration Settings.
Example:
Current Network Configuration ----------------------------- ens13f0 (controlled by SDN/Virtual Networking) MAC Address : 00:00:00:00:00:01 IPv4 Address : 10.0.0.169 IPv4 Netmask : 255.255.255.0 DNS Servers : 206.223.27.1, 206.223.27.2 NTP Servers : 10.0.0.4, 10.211.17.1 Uplink CIDR : 10.0.0.67/24 Default Gateway : 10.0.0.1 Connectivity check from device to Default Gateway... Connect to Default Gateway 10.0.0.1 successfully. Press ENTER to return...Tip
When the interface is controlled by SDN, the Edge Platform setup on the device has been completed. Any configuration changes must be applied through the Service CLI. As long as the interface is controlled by the physical host, changes can be made from the serial console.
- Press Enter.
Configuring the Device IP Settings
Under normal operating conditions, if the Roving Edge device is running on fully operational Edge Platform software, DO NOT change this configuration through the serial console. Use the Service CLI instead. See Reconfiguring the Roving Edge Operating Environment.
Use the serial console for network configuration changes ONLY if you're unable to run the necessary Service CLI or sanitization operations.
- Connect to the serial console. See Operating the Serial Console.
- If the serial console screen is locked, enter the passphrase to access the menu.
-
Enter the number for Network Configuration.
- Enter the number for Configure Node IP Settings.
Configuring IP address, subnet mask length, gateway EXAMPLE: IP Address : 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask Length : 24 Gateway : 192.168.0.1 Subnet mask length 24 <=> 255.255.255.0 -
Enter the configuration parameters when prompted.
Entries are validated after input. The serial console returns the results of the connectivity check.
