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

Steps:

  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 the Putty application. Trellix recommends you to use the Tera Term application for remotely accessing the Manager Appliance using SSH.

      Note

      Trellixstrongly 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 password control, see the section Configure password complexity settings in the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Product Guide.

  2. To update network parameters, execute the set network configuration command to configure the Manager with an IPv4 address.

    Syntax: set network configuration

    Note

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

    Note

    IPv6 is supported only on the eth0 network interface from 11.1.7.84 onwards. For more information, see set network ipv6.

    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
