Network Setup

VMware Edge Network Intelligence setup needs a single IP address for each Crawler.

Setting Up ENI Physical Device With a Static IP

To set up ENI physical device with a static IP, perform the following steps.

1. Connect a keyboard and a monitor to the Server to see home screen. Once you turn ON the Server, a Crawler login screen appears.

   

2. Login using the username 'nyansa' and password 'logmein'.
3. Once inside the shell, type sudo nmtui to call out the network configuration (NetworkManager TUI) utility. The NetworkManager TUI is a standard curser-based utility that can be controlled using the arrow keys, space bar, tab, and return keys. This replaces system-config-network which was used in CentOS 6.

   

4. The NetworkManager TUI screen with actions to let you configure your network interface and DNS appears.

   

5. Select Edit a connection and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
6. Select a network interface to which you want a static IP to be assigned and then press the Enter key.

   

7. Using the Tab key, navigate to the row "IPv4 Configuration" and change it to <Manual>. Configure your Static IP address, Netmask, Default Gateway IP, and DNS accordingly.

   

8. Restart network services by entering the sudorestart_network.sh command.

   

Note: The above instructions also work when connecting through SSH (if DHCP is activated).
