Configuring a Desktop Network

Scenario

When the network of a user changes, the administrator can perform related settings so that the user can quickly switch the desktop network.

Prerequisites

For desktop network settings, submit a service ticket.

Notes

• Switching the network will change the subnet, IP address, and MAC address of the cloud desktop, resulting in network disconnection.
• During the network switchover, do not perform operations on the EIP of the cloud desktop.
• After the network is switched, reconfigure network-related services and application software (such as NAT and DNS).
• Switching the network will switch the private IP address. If the desktop bound to an EIP cannot be bound to another EIP after the network settings are changed, perform the binding manually.
• After the network is switched, if the IP address of the desktop cannot be obtained, restart the desktop.
• When changing the desktop security group, check whether the security group in use has allowed the inbound and outbound rules required by the desktop access service. If not, desktop access will be affected.
• To switch the network of a stopped desktop, start the desktop first. After the network is switched, shut down the desktop.
