Manually configuring a static Management IP address for the VPX
When you are not using DHCP, or want to set a static Management IP Address for the SD-WAN VPX-SE
Virtual Appliance VM, you must do this manually. To do so, you use the console for the virtual machine
you created, in the vSphere Client.
Also see, Setting up the SD-WAN Virtual WAN Appliances.
To set the Management IP Address manually, do the following:
Note
DHCP is enabled by default for the SD-WAN VPX-SE Management IP Address.
1. Continuing in the vSphere client Inventory page, choose the new SD-WAN VPX-SE VM in the
Inventory tree (le pane). This appears the Inventory page for the new VM, with the Getting
Started tab preselected.
2. Power on the new virtual machine. In the Basic Tasks section of the Getting Started tab page,
choose Power on the virtual machine (green play mouse button) to power on the new SD-WAN
VPX-SE VM.
3. Click the Console tab in the Inventory page tab bar. The Console tab is located in Inventory
page tab bar at the top of the main page area. Selecting this tab appears and enables access to
the CLI console for the VM. Because the new VM starts up, a series of status messages are dis-
played in the console. When the startup process completes, the console login prompt displays.
4. Choose anywhere inside the consolearea to type consolemode. Thisturns control of your point-
ing device cursor more than to the VM console, and enables console mode.
5. Log into the VM console. The default login credentials for the new SD-WAN VPX-SE VM are be-
cause follows:
Login: Administrator
Password: password
This appears the console Welcome screen.
6. Type the following command line at the console prompt: management_ip This switches to the
management_ip CLI in the console, and appears the set_management_ip prompt.
7. Configure the interface settings for the VM. Type the following command line at the
set_management_ip prompt:
set interface <ipaddress> <subnetmask> <gateway>
Where:
• <ip> is the Management IP Address for the SD-WAN VPX-SE Virtual Appliance.
• <subnetmask> is the subnet mask used to define the network in which the SD-WAN VPX-
SE Virtual Appliance resides.
• <gateway> is the Gateway IP Address the SD-WAN VPX-SE Virtual Appliance uses to com-
municate with external networks.
This stage but does not apply the interface settings.
