Configuring NIC and Route Information

You can configure NIC, route, and DNS information in the system management module, or enable the bypass mode with a single click to facilitate system troubleshooting.

By configuring network addresses, you can modify the device IP address, DNS, and route information for API data security protection.

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 IP address, DNS, and route information to be configured for the device.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the web console of the API data security protection system as user sysadmin.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose System Management > Network Management.
  3. In the network port list, locate the desired network port and click Edit in the Actions column.
