Configuring VA networking

If you have deployed one or more VAs using a static IP configuration, and you need to change that configuration after deployment, you must do so from within the VA.

To configure VA networking, complete the following tasks:

•

Logging in to the VA

•

Changing the hostname

•

Changing the network configuration

•

Configuring DNS

Logging in to the VA

Previous

Next

Configuring vRanger > Supplemental instructions: additional repository types > Configuring VA networking > Logging in to the VA

Logging in to the VA

Complete the steps in the following procedure to log in to the VA.

To log in to the VA:

1

From your VI Client, find the VA, and power it on.

2

Using the console, log in as root to the VA, using the following default credentials:

▪

Username: root

▪

Password: vzroot1

If you supplied your own password during the VA deployment, use that password.

Changing the hostname

Configuring vRanger > Supplemental instructions: additional repository types > Configuring VA networking > Changing the hostname

Changing the hostname

Complete the steps in the following procedure to change hostname.

To change the hostname:

1

Log in to the VA.

2

Using the VI text editor, edit the network configuration file:

vi /etc/sysconfig/network

3

Change the hostname to the new value, and save the file.

4

Restart the VM by typing reboot at the prompt.

Changing the network configuration

Configuring vRanger > Supplemental instructions: additional repository types > Configuring VA networking > Changing the network configuration

Changing the network configuration

Optionally, you can complete the steps in the following procedure to change the network configuration.

To change the network configuration:

1

Log in to the VA.

2

Using the VI text editor, edit the configuration file for eth0:

vi /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0

3

Edit the configuration file as needed.

The following text is shown as an example:

ONBOOT=yes

SERVICE=ipv4-static

IFACE=eth0

IP=<static IP of VA>

GATEWAY=<IP of gateway>

PREFIX=<this entry is the subnet mask — your values may differ>

BROADCAST=<your broadcast IP — the highest IP in the VA’s subnet.>

4

Save the file.

5

Restart the VM by typing reboot at the prompt.
