Change the Sensor IP or the Manager IP

Prev Next

Task

  1. Change the Manager IP
    1. Log in to the Sensor CLI.
    2. Execute the deinstall command to remove trust between the Manager and the Sensor.
    3. Execute the set manager ip <IP_address_of_the_Manager> command to change the IP address of the Manager in the Sensor.
    4. Execute the set sensor sharedsecretkey command to establish trust between the Manager and the Sensor. The Sensor then prompts you to enter a shared secret key value. Type the shared secret key value at the prompt. The Sensor then prompts you to verify the value. Type the value again.

      Note

      The shared secret key value must be between 8 and 25 characters of ASCII text. The shared secret key value is case-sensitive. For example, IPSkey123.

  2. Change the Sensor IP
    1. Open a hyperterminal session to change the IP address of the Sensor. (For instructions on connecting to the Console port, see the section Cabling the Console Port, in Trellix Intrusion Prevention System NS-series Sensor Product Guide for your Sensor model.)
    2. Execute the set sensor ip <IP_address_to_be_assigned_to_the_Sensor> to assign an IP address to the Sensor.

      Note

      Make sure the subnet mask and gateway addresses are configured correctly.

      Note

      The trust between the Manager and the Sensor is removed when the IP address of the Sensor is changed. You must re-establish the Manager trust to continue the Manager-Sensor communication.

    3. Reboot the Sensor by executing the reboot command.
