This document provides information on changing network settings for the Console

and non-Console systems when using Trustix or CentOS-4 operating systems in

your deployment including:

•Changing Network Settings in an All-in-One Console

•Changing the Network Settings of a Console in a Multi-System Deployment

•Changing the Network Settings of a Non-Console in a Multi-System

Deployment

Note: This Technical Note applies to systems running STRM 2008.2 and above.

Changing Network

Settings in an

All-in-One Console

You can change the network settings in your All-In-One system. An All-In-One

system has all STRM components, including the Administration Console, installed

on one system.

To change the settings on the STRM Console:

Note: You must have a local connection to your Console before executing the

script.

Step 1 Log in to the Console, as root.

Step 2 Enter the following command:

qchange_netsetup

The Configure STRM window appears.

Release 2008.2

Step 3 Using the up/down arrow keys to navigate the fields, change the necessary

parameters:

•Hostname — Specify a fully qualified domain name as the system hostname.

Note: If you change the hostname and you are using Offense Resolution, we

recommend you also update the Resolver Agent name, if a Resolver Agent is

assigned to the host.

•IP Address - Specify the IP address of the system.

•Netmask - Specify the network mask address for the system.

•Gateway - Specify the default gateway of the system.

•Primary DNS - Specify the primary DNS server.

•Secondary DNS - Optional. Specify the secondary DNS server.

•Public IP - Optional. Specify the Public IP address of the server. This is a

secondary IP address that is used to access the server, usually from a different

network or the Internet, and is managed by your network administrator. This

Public IP address is often configured using Network Address Translation (NAT)

services on your network or firewall settings on your network. NAT translates an

IP address in one network to a different IP address in another network.

•Email Server - Specify the email server. If you do not have an email server,

specify localhost in this field.

Step 4 Use the TAB key to navigate to the Finish option. Press Enter.

A series of messages appear as STRM processes the requested changes. After

the requested changes are processed, the STRM system is automatically

shutdown and rebooted.
