Set appliance interface configurations


	Warning Do not change the C interface IP address. If you must change the C interface IP address, please contact Forcepoint Technical Support for assistance. Changing the C interface IP address breaks the communication path to critical off-appliance architecture components.

The P1 and P2 interfaces in the Email OVA are container interfaces and therefore share DNS information. If one or both of the interfaces is set through DHCP, then the DNS information cannot be configured statically. If the DNS must be configured statically, set the interface through DHCP using the parameter omit dns with the command set interface dhcpv4.

When changing configuration from DHCP to static, you must manually set interface IPv4 and DNS information using the commands set interface ipv4 and set interface dns.

set interface state

Set the state of the specified interface.

set interface state --interface <e1|e2|p1|p2|n> --state <up|down>


Parameter	Description
interface	Interface being set; E1, E2, P1, P2, or N.
state	State of the interface; up or down.

All products. Not supported in Azure.

(config)# set interface state --interface e2 --state up

Related commands


Command	Description
set interface ipv4	Configure appliance interface in IPv4 settings.
delete interface ipv4	Delete interface IPv4 settings.

set interface ipv4

Configure appliance interface in IPv4 settings.

set interface ipv4 --interface <c|n|p1|p2|e1|e2> --ip <ipv4_address> --mask <ipv4_netmask> [--gateway <ipv4_address>]


Parameter	Description
interface	Interface being configured; C, N, P1, P2, E1, or E2.
ip	IP address in IPv4 format.
mask	(Required only if the IPv4 has not been set) Netmask in IPv4 format.
gateway	(Optional) Gateway IPv4 address.

All products. Not supported in Azure.

Usage guidelines

This command sets the gateway to the interface. Setting the interface parameter to P1 with an IP address in the gateway assigns the gateway to P1 even if P2 is enabled.

(config)# set interface ipv4 --interface c --ip 10.206.6.195 --gateway 10.206.7.245
