Configuring the network settings in a deployment

Last Updated : Nov 26, 2021 |

About this task

Use this procedure to initially configure the network settings for a deployment.

Note:

After you initially configure the network settings for a deployment, you can change the network information from the AE Services Management Console. For more information, see Administering and Maintaining Avaya Aura® Application Enablement Services. This configuration is initially needed for AE Services deployed through vSphere Web client only, and not for AE Services deployed through vCenter or SDM.

Note:

The netconfig command does not support IPv6.

Caution:

If you need to use the IPv6 architecture, it must be dual stack (IPv6 and IPv4).

Only IPv6 is not supported.
