System Mgmt

This topic describes how to update the system IP address, time, and version, how to restart, shut down, and restore the system, and how to manage the basic system information and status.

Prerequisites

You have the management permissions for the System module.

Managing System Addresses

  1. Log in to your bastion host.
  2. Choose System > System Maintain > System Mgmt.

    Figure 1 System Mgmt

  3. Expand the System address area.
  4. Update the system IP address.

    • After the EIP bound to the mapped bastion host is changed, update the system IP address accordingly.
    • The system IP address must be the NAT external network address. Otherwise, application resources such as FTP cannot be connected.

Managing System Time

Incorrect system time will make policies and tickets ineffective and causes failures in the authentication of the mobile OTP and dynamic OTP token when they bound to the bastion host.

  1. Log in to your bastion host.
  2. Choose System > System Maintain > System Mgmt.
