Configuring Network Interfaces in SafeMode

When the Management Console is in SafeMode, the Network Interfaces screen in the NSM On-Premises Console provides features to configure the NSM On-Premises interfaces:

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

• Network Interface – This is the currently selected interface. This defaults to ens160. Use this to select any of the NSM On-Premises interfaces.
• DHCP – Determines whether addressing is static or handled automatically and dynamically by a DHCP server.
• IPv4 Address – The current IPv4 address currently assigned to the Management Interface.
• Netmask – The current Netmask assigned to the Management Interface.
• Mac Address – The MAC address of the Management Interface.
• IPv6 Address – The currently assigned IPv6 address of the Management Interface.
• Gateway – The current Default Gateway currently in use by the NSv appliance.
• DNS – A list of the current DNS servers currently being used by the NSv appliance.
