Configuring Eth0 IP settings

Users can change the Eth0 IP address and gateway settings from the Network Settings page.

About this task

When users change IP settings for the Eth0 interface, connection to Lenovo XClarity Integrator Web interface is lost. Check the VM console for the new Eth0 IP address, and reopen Lenovo XClarity Integrator Web interface to continue the setup.

Procedure

  1. Click Network Settings on the left navigation pane, and click IP and DNS Settings tab on the right pane.
  2. On the IP Settings area, specify the IPv4 address, IPv6 address or both for the Eth0 interface.

    For IPv4, users can use a statically assigned IP address, obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, or disable IPv4.

    For IPv6, users can assign an IPv6 address to the interface using one of the following assignment methods:

    • Use a statically assigned IP address

    • Use a stateful address configuration (DHCPv6)

    • Use a stateless address auto configuration

  3. Specify the default gateway.
    Note

    • Because Eth1 is intentionally used for connecting to the BMC network, which is normally within the Eth1 subnet, users are allowed to configure the default gateway for only Eth0.

    • If users specify a default gateway, the input must be a valid IP address and must use the same network mask (the same subnet) as the IP address for Eth0.

    • If Eth0 uses DHCP to obtain an IP address, the default gateway must also use DHCP and cannot be changed.

  4. Click Save.
