When you install Cryptographic Security Platform Vault, you have to specify a valid network connection to make sure the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault node can communicate with other Cryptographic Security Platform Vault nodes and with associated VMs. If your network changes or if you want to use multiple NICs (Network Interface Cards), you can update your settings using Manage Network Settings from the Entrust Cryptographic Security Platform Vault System Console on the node whose network settings you want to change.
The Manage Network Settings menu includes the following options:
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Show Current Network Configuration | Lets you view the current network configuration for the node. If the node has multiple NICs, this option allows you to select which NIC configuration you want to view. |
Manage IP Address Settings | Lets you change the current network configuration. If the node has multiple NICs, this option allows you to select which NIC configuration you want to change. For details, see Multi-NIC Node Configuration. |
Disable a Network Interface | If the node is configured with multiple NICs, this option lets you remove one or more NICs from the configuration. For details, see Removing a NIC from the Configuration. Note: You cannot remove the management interface. |
Manage DNS Settings | Lets you view and update your current DNS Settings. For details, see Configuring DNS Settings. |
Manage NTP Settings | Lets you view and update your current NTP Settings. For details, see Configuring NTP Settings. |
Manage Static Routes | Lets you add static routes for the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault node for environments where dynamic routing is not the optimal solution. For details, see Configuring Static Routes. |
Network Diagnostic Tools | Lets you troubleshoot network issues. For details, see Troubleshooting Network Issues. |
