To view network settings of the appliance VM, open the Network page . You can view details about an IP address of the appliance, the network gateway, and the DNS-related details. To update the network settings, use the virtual appliance management interface (VAMI). You cannot modify the network settings from the appliance user interface.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the appliance using root credentials.
  2. Run the VAMI CLI command /opt/vmware/share/vami.
    Verify the list of options available for network settings using the /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_network --help command.
  3. Update the desired network configuration parameters.
    For example: 
    vami_set_network <interface> (DHCPV4|DHCPV6|AUTOV6|DHCPV4+DHCPV6|DHCPV4+AUTOV6|DHCPV4+NONEV6)
vami_set_network <interface> (STATICV4|STATICV4+DHCPV6|STATICV4+AUTOV6|STATICV4+NONEV6) <ipv4_addr> <netmask> <gatewayv4>
vami_set_network <interface> (STATICV6|DHCPV4+STATICV6) <ipv6_addr> <prefix> (<gatewayv6>|default)
vami_set_network <interface> STATICV4+STATICV6 <ipv4_addr> <netmask> <gatewayv4> <ipv6_addr> <prefix> (<gatewayv6>|default)
  4. Restart the appliance VM.
  5. Log in to appliance using admin credentials.
  6. Verify the updated network settings on the Configuration > Network > Network details tab.
