Configuring the Network

Configure the network interface card (NIC), DNS server, and routing policy information.

  • NIC information: Configure the network IP address and gateway address. NIC information needs to be configured during initial installation or network environment change.
  • DNS Server: Configure a DNS server address. If the asset is a domain name, the DNS server must be configured.
  • Routing policy information: If a device has multiple NICs, configure the routing policy information based on the network plan.
  • Configure the network information of a device based on the network environment plan. If the network configuration is incorrect, the device may fail to be accessed through a web browser. In this case, you need to directly connect to the device and reconfigure the network information.
  • Before modifying route information, ensure that you understand the impact of the route modifications on the network. To avoid network disconnection, exercise caution when performing this operation.
  • The NIC IP address can only be configured on this page. Do not directly modify the NIC configuration file in the background. Otherwise, the IP address of the SSH service (port 22) will be incorrectly bound.

Prerequisites

You have obtained the network information such as the IP address to be configured for the device.
