Change the IP Address of a Secure Device Connector

Step 1

Create an SSH connection to your SDC or open your virtual machine's console, and log in as the CDO user.

Step 2

If you wish to view your SDC VM's network interface configuration information before changing the IP address, use the ifconfig command.

 [cdo@localhost ~]$ ifconfig

Step 3

To change the IP address of the interface, type sudo sdc-onboard setup command.

 [cdo@localhost ~]$ sudo sdc-onboard setup

Step 4

Enter your password at the prompt.

 [sudo] password for cdo:

Step 5

Type n at the prompt for resetting the root and CDO passwords.

 Would you like to reset the root and cdo passwords? (y/n):

Step 6

Type y at the prompt for reconfiguring the network.

 Would you like to re-configure the network? (y/n):

Step 7

Enter the new IP address you wish to assign to your SDC and the other domain information of the SDC VM when prompted:

1. IP Address

2. Gateway

3. DNS Server

4. NTP Server or FQDN

   or press enter if an NTP server or FQDN is not applicable.

5. Docker Bridge

   or press enter if a docker bridge is not applicable.

Step 8

Confirm your entries with y when prompted for the correctness of the values.

 Are these values correct? (y/n):

Step 9

Create an SSH connection using the new IP address you assigned to your SDC and log in.

Step 10

You can run the connectivity status test command to ensure that your SDC is up and running.

 [cdo@localhost ~]$ sudo sdc-onboard status

Step 11

You can also check your SDC's connectivity through the CDO user interface. To do that, open the CDO application and navigate to Tools & Services > Secure Connectors page.

Step 12

Refresh the page once and select the secure connector whose IP address you changed.
