Changing IP Addresses
Modifying IMSVA Deployment
This section explains how to change the IP address of parent and child devices.
Note: When changing IP addresses in the Command Line Interface (CLI) through Secure
Shell (SSH), do not close the SSH client until the connection times out. Otherwise,
the IP change script may not execute completely, causing inconsistencies in the
settings.
Changing the Parent’s Internal Communication Port IP
Address
To change the parent’s Internal Communication Port IP address:
1. Connect to the parent device through an SSH connection and do the following
from the CLI:
a. Log on to the CLI as admin.
b. Use the enable command to enter privilege mode.
c. Change the IP address using the configure network interface command.
2. Connect to each child device through an SSH connection and do the following:
a. Log on to the OS shell as root.
b. Use the clish command to enter the CLI.
c. Use the enable command to enter privilege mode.
d. Use the configure module IMSVA role change-parent command to change
the parent IP to the updated one.
Changing the Child Internal Communication Port IP
Address
If the parent or child devices have multiple network interface cards (NIC), check the
route table on the parent and child device using the command show network
route in the CLI. Verify that parent-child communication uses the Internal
Communication Port.
