Update the Hostname or IP Address in the Management Center
If you edit the hostname or IP address of a device after you added it to the management center (using the device’s CLI, for example), you need to use the procedure below to manually update the hostname or IP address on the managing management center.
To change the device management IP address on the device, see Modify Threat Defense Management Interfaces at the CLI.
If you used only the NAT ID when registering the device, then the IP shows as NO-IP on this page, and you do not need to update the IP address/hostname.
If you used zero-touch provisioning to register the device on the outside interface, the hostname is automatically generated along with a matching DDNS configuration; you cannot edit the hostname in this case.
