Changing the IP, FQDN, DNS, Gateway, or Netmask addresses

Last Updated : Oct 07, 2020 |

Before you begin

Log in to the WebLM command line interface with administrator privilege CLI user credentials.

Important:

Ensure that WebLM maintenance is not in progress.

Procedure

  1. Type changeIPFQDN —IP <IP Address> —FQDN <FQDN> —GATEWAY <Gateway address> —NETMASK <Netmask address> —dns <dns address> —SEARCH <search list for DNS>.
    Warning:

    Do not change the IP address settings from VMware tools when WebLM is in the Power Off state.

    Note:

    After a WebLM IP/FQDN change, the licenses become invalid. You must re-host the licenses. The license data varies based on the installed license as part of the license re-host.

  2. To add more than one IP address for the DNS server, type changeIPFQDN –dns primary_DNS_IPaddress, secondary_DNS_IPaddress, DNS_N_IPaddress....” to “changeIPFQDN –dns primary_DNS_IPaddress, secondary_DNS_IPaddress, ..., DNS_N_IPaddress.

    You must separate each DNS IP address by a comma (,). For example, changeIPFQDN -dns 10.14.16.2,14.17.13.5.

    The system takes a few seconds to apply the DNS changes to the network.

    Note:

    The command to configure multiple DNS IP addresses overrides all the previous DNS IP address entries.
