Change an IP Address

You can change the IP address assigned to a MAC address to correct the assigned IP address.

Note: SpoofGuard accepts a unique IP address from virtual machines. However, you can assign an IP address only once. An approved IP address is unique across NSX. Duplicate approved IP addresses are not allowed.

Procedure

1. In SpoofGuard, select a policy.
2. In NSX 6.4.1 and later, select one of the option links from the drop-down menu, or All.

   Active vNICs	List of all validated IP addresses
   Pending Approval vNICs	IP address changes that require approval before traffic can flow to or from these virtual machines
   Inactive vNICs	List of IP addresses where the current IP address does not match the published IP address
   vNICs with Duplicate IP	IP addresses that are duplicates of an existing assigned IP address within the selected datacenter
