Setting a static IP on the HMVA when you don't have DHCP to start with !

[itmanager2]

Our Data Centre is hosted for us - as an acronym - IAAS?

A limitation of this is the CIsco VSG firewalling on the cluster is not configured to allow DHCP traffic between our VMs.

This means my newly setup HiveManager VA doesn't get a DHCP assigned IP address like the Quick Start guide assumes it will. So the solution of then setting a Static IP address from the web interface is not possible - I have no IP address bound.

Is there an alternative method of setting the IP address from the console of the appliance -  a network config login perhaps ?

Cheers

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the response, but unfortunately no as we are consuming IAAS from a provider. We have limited access.

The solution is to logon at the console using the credentials of netcfg/aerohive

This logon was apparently put into the 12.8.1.2 release.

Cheers

Ian

During the deployment of the OVA file, were you not given the option to set an IP for it?
