An Alternative Method of Changing Management Interface
An alternative method of changing the management interface and to avoid the 30 second delay
entirely, is as follows:
1. Login using the existing remote management interface and add a new remote
management object for HTTP/HTTPS and/or SSH for the new interface. Then activate and
commit the change.
2. Disconnect and reconnect using the interface specified by the new remote management
object.
3. Delete or disable the old remote management object, then activate and commit the
change.
Changing the Management IP Address
The following example shows how the IPv4 address for access on the default management
interface can be changed. The new address must belong to the network allowed by the relevant
remote management rule for that interface. If it does not, the relevant remote management
rule(s) must be changed to allow the IP.
There are two ways of changing the management interface:
• Change the IP address of the interface directly. For example, the CLI for this would be:
Device:/> set Interface Ethernet IP=
This is not recommended since the address object in the address book for this IP address
would not change and therefore would any of the other rules and object that refer to it.
• Change the IP address of the address object for the interface IP. This is the recommended
method of setting a new management IP address.
Example 2.5. Changing the Management Interface IP Address
This example will change the IPv4 address on the management If1 interface from 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.2. Since these belong to the same network, the network of the management policies
do not need to be changed.
There are two ways of performing the operation
Command-Line Interface
Device:/> set Address IP4Address InterfaceAddresses/If1_ip
IP=192.168.1.2
Web Interface
1. Go to: Objects > Address Book
2. Select the address folder InterfaceAddresses
3. Select the address object If1
