Configure the Manager on MLOS

Login to the Manager/Central Manager virtual machine using a console client and configure the network settings as shown here.

1. Log in to the Manager shell using the following credentials:
   • Username: admin
   • Password: MLOSnsmApp

     Note

     SSH connection to the Linux based Manager Appliance is not supported by Putty application. Trellix recommends you to use Tera Term application for remotely accessing the Manager Appliance using SSH.

     Note

     Trellix strongly recommends that you change the password immediately. The new password must be at least 8 characters in length and must contain a combination of numbers, characters, and special characters. For more information on the password control, see section Configure password complexity settings in Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Product Guide.

2. To update network parameters, execute the set network configuration command.
   Syntax: set network configuration

   Note

   The set network configuration command overwrites the pre-existing network configuration in the Manager server.

   Note

   You can only configure IPv4 addresses in the MLOS Manager Appliance box.

   Note

   You can terminate the network configuration by executing the quit command.

   On executing the set network configuration command, follow the steps below:
   1. Select the type of NIC configuration:

      Please select one of the below option: 
      
      1 -> Configure Single NIC
      2 -> Configure Both the NIC's
      
      Input 1 or 2 based on you selection : 

      Type  1 to configure NIC 1 or NIC 2, or 2 to configure both NIC 1 and NIC 2.
   2. Select the NIC to be configured with public IP address for management purpose:

      Enter the NIC you want to configure with public network ip:
      
      1 -> eth0 [NIC 1]
      2 -> eth1 [NIC 2]
      
      Input 1 or 2 based on your selection : 

      Type  1 to select NIC 1 or 2 to select NIC 2 based on your network cable connection for public IP address.

      Important

      The NIC 1 and NIC 2 ports are interchangeable:

      • When configuring a single NIC, you can assign the public IP address to NIC 1 or NIC 2.
      • When configuring dual NIC, you can assign a public IP address to NIC 1 and a private IP address to NIC 2 or vice-versa.

      Note

      The Manager Appliance can have only one public and one private IP address.

   3. Enter the Manager Appliance network parameters as shown below:

      Parameters	Description
      DOMAIN NAME	Enter the domain name for the Manager server.
      HOSTNAME	Enter the hostname to be assigned to the Manager server.
      Configuring the eth"x" with public IP
      IP ADDRESS	Enter the public IP address to be assigned to the Manager server.
      NETMASK	Enter the subnet mask for the Manager server.
      GATEWAY	Enter the gateway address for the Manager server.
      DNS1	Enter the primary DNS server IP address.
      Do you want to enter DNS2 <y/n>	Type y, if you want to configure a secondary DNS server IP address, else type n.
      DNS2	(Optional) Enter the secondary DNS server IP address.
      Configuring the eth"y" with private IP (Applicable only when 2 -> Configure Both the NIC's option is selected in step a).
      IP ADDRESS	Enter the private IP address to be assigned to the Manager server.

      Note

      The Manager server will reboot automatically after completing the network configuration.

      Note

      Make a note of the MAC address displayed after successful execution of set network configuration command.

You can now use the public IP address to access the UI from a remote location using a client machine and manage the Manager Appliance from a remote location using SSH . If required, unplug the monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
