Configuring Interface Settings

In SafeMode, the Network Interfaces screen includes editable and actionable items which are read-only when the management console is in normal mode.

To edit an interface:

1. In the SafeMode Network Interfaces screen, select the Network interface option and then press Enter.

   The Select Interface list appears, displaying all of the interfaces available on the NSM On-Premises instance.

2. Select the interface you wish to edit and press Enter.

   The IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, Netmask, MAC address, Gateway, and DNS settings are displayed on the screen above the interface selection dialog.

3. To edit the IPv4 address, select IPv4 Address on the screen and press Enter.

   The on-screen dialog displays the current IP address.

4. Navigate into the dialog and make the desired changes, then press Enter to close the dialog or press Esc to cancel and close the dialog.
5. Two new buttons appear on the screen after you make changes to an interface setting: Save changes and Cancel. You can use the Tab key to navigate to these buttons.

You cannot navigate to the left navigation pane until you either save changes or cancel using these buttons.

Changes made to interfaces in SafeMode are not persistent between reboots.

Do one of the following:

• To make changes to other settings for this interface, navigate to the desired setting, press Enter, make the changes in the dialog, then press Enter to close the dialog for that setting. Repeat for other settings, as needed.
• If finished making changes to the settings for this interface, press Tab to navigate to the Save changes button and then press Enter to save your changes.
• Press Tab to navigate to the Cancel button and then press Enter to cancel all changes to the settings for this interface.
