This chapter contains the following sections:

Information About Network Parameters

Network parameters in Cisco Intercloud Fabric Director (ICFD) lets you manually modify parameters—IP address, network mask, default gateway, and so on—to update or correct misconfigured parameters.

Guidelines and Limitations for Network Parameters

Use extreme caution when deploying this feature in a live system and when other users are using the ICFD UI. Modifying network parameters in a live system could cause unwanted service outages. We recommend that you modify any IP-related configuration or DNS configuration prior to infrastructure setup.

Modifying Network Parameters

Before You Begin

  • Ensure that you have access credentials for the ICFD ShellAdmin user.

Procedure
    Step 1   Log in to ICFD using ShellAdmin user credentials and enter your password to access the CLI mode. The Intercloud Fabric Shell Menu, Standalone Mode menu appears.
    Step 2   At the SELECT> prompt, enter 14, and then click return. The current network interface details are displayed.
    Step 3   Click return. The Intercloud Fabric Shell Menu, Standalone Mode menu appears.
    Step 4   At the SELECT> prompt, enter 13 to change network interface parameters.
    Step 5   At the Do you want to Configure DHCP/STATIC IP [D/S] ?: prompt, enter S to configure the static configuration.
    Step 6   At the Enter the ethernet interface that you want to configure E.g. eth0 or eth1: prompt, enter eth0 to select the Ethernet interface that you want to configure.
    Step 7   At the Select the IP version you want to configure [a)IPv4, b) IPv6] a/b: prompt, enter a to select the IP version you want to configure.
    Step 8   At the Do you want to configure IPv4 STATIC IP for eth0 [y/n]? prompt, enter y to specify that you want to configure IPv4 static ip address.
    Step 9   Enter the address details as prompted and click return:

    • IP Address

    • Netmask

    • Gateway

    • DNS Server1

    • DNS Server2—Click return if you do not have a secondary DNS server2

    Step 10   Review the configuration details, and then enter y at the prompt to change the specified network parameters. [ OK ] is displayed as each change is verified.
    Step 11   Click return. The Intercloud Fabric Shell Menu, Standalone Mode menu appears.

    The following example shows how to manually modify ICFD network parameters: 

    SELECT> 13
Do you want to Configure DHCP/STATIC IP [D/S]?: S
Configuring STATIC configuration...

Enter the ethernet interface that you want to configure E.g. eth0 or eth1: eth0
Select the IP version you want to configure [a) IPv4, b) IPv6] a/b: a
Do you want to configure IPv4 STATIC IP for eth0 [y/n]? y
Configuring STATIC IP for eth0...
	IP Address: 10.36.7.15
	Netmask: 255.255.0.0
	Gateway: 10.36.0.2
	DNS Server1: 171.70.168.183
	DNS Server2:
