Configure network interface

During startup, the VM outputs boot messages to the VGA console. You do not usually need to watch these. When boot up is complete, the Appliance Console Menu appears.

Authentication Service has acquired an IP address for its single network interface (if a DHCP server is present) and generated a temporary host name. You will probably want to change both.

To change the IP address and host name using the Appliance Console Menu:

1.	Press 1 to start configuring the interface.

In this menu, the default response (i.e. if you press Enter without typing anything else) is shown in brackets; in the example above, pressing Enter would return you to the main menu.

2.	To disable DHCP, type Y and press Enter.

3.	Enter the interface's IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.

If defaults are shown for any of the fields, these are the current settings obtained from the DHCP server. You can use dotted quad format for each field, although a default may show hexadecimal format.

In this example, the IP address is set to 10.5.133.111, the subnet mask is set to the default 255.255.255.0 (/24), and the gateway is left as the default 10.5.133.254:

4.	After you enter this information, Authentication Service redisplays its menu. Press 2 to change the host name.

5.	Enter the new host name and press Enter.

6.	Once the host name is updated, you must regenerate the self-signed certificate for Authentication Service. Regenerate the SSL certificate for the new host name by pressing Y.

7.	Authentication Service redisplays its menu. To start using the new settings, select 8 (Reboot appliance) from the menu.

Once Authentication Service has restarted, it will display the new settings.
