Defining the interfaces using the CLI

Use the commands in this section to define the submission interface on a sensor or hybrid appliance and broker node, and to define the cluster interface on a broker node and compute node.

Note
Alternatively, you can change the interfaces for a broker and node in the configuration wizard. Use the configuration jump-start command to start the wizard.

Defining the submission interface

To define the submission interface on a sensor or hybrid appliance:

Enable the CLI configuration mode:

hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal

Specify the interface:

hostname (config) # mvx sensor config submission-if <interface name>

If the sensor or hybrid appliance and broker are in different subnets: Specify the IPv4 address of the default gateway for the interface:
```
hostname (config) # mvx sensor config submission-if <interface name> default-gateway ipv4 <ipv4 address>
```
Verify your change:
```
hostname (config) # show mvx status
```
Save your change:
```
hostname (config) # write memory
```

To define the submission interface on a broker node:

Enable the CLI configuration mode

vx-hostname > enable
vx-hostname # configure terminal

Specify the interface name:

vx-hostname (config) # mvx node config submission-if <interface name>

If the broker and any sensors are in different subnets: Specify the IPv4 address of the default gateway for the interface:
```
vx-hostname (config) # mvx node config submission-if <interface name> default-gateway ipv4 <ipv4 address>
```

Verify your changes:

vx-hostname (config) # show mvx node status

Save your changes:

vx-hostname (config) # write memory
Defining the cluster interface

To define the cluster interface on a broker node or compute node:

Enable the CLI configuration mode:

vx-hostname > enable
vx-hostname # configure terminal

Specify the interface:

vx-hostname (config) # mvx node config cluster-if <interface name>

Verify your change:

vx-hostname (config) # show mvx node status

Save your change:
```
vx-hostname (config) # write memory
```

Examples

The following example defines ether2 as the cluster interface on the vx-3 node.

vx-3 (hostname) # mvx node config cluster-if ether2
vx-3 (hostname) # show mvx node status
MVX Cluster: Node Status
    Broker role:
    Enabled                 : no
    Ready:                  : yes
    SSH port                : 22
    Submission Interface    : ether1
    Cluster Interface       : ether2
    Key Hash                : f8:xx:xx:...
...

The following example defines ether2 as the submission interface on the nx-4 sensor.

nx-4 (hostname) # mvx node config submission-if ether2
nx-4 (hostname) # show mvx status

MVX Mode Status:
Sensor Config Enabled        : yes
Current Operating Mode       : sensor
Mode Reboot Required         : no
Submission Interface         : ether2
Modes Supported              : mvx configurable
