Changing IP addresses of Web Security components after upgrade

If the IP address changes for a machine running Policy Server or Policy Broker after upgrade, certain configuration files must be updated. See the instructions for changing the Policy Server IP address under the Websense Server Administration topic in the TRITON - Web Security Help. Use the same procedure if you change the IP address of Policy Broker (more instances of the IP address will be found in the files being updated).

Websense Web Security software handles IP address changes in the background for most other components, without any interruption to filtering.

In some cases, Websense services need to be restarted or configurations updated after changing an IP address.

Network Agent settings can be updated in TRITON - Web Security. See the TRITON - Web Security Help for more information.
