Changing the IP Address on the ALSMS Server Configuration Example Alcatel-Lucent Security Products Configuration Example Series

ChangeIP Tool In General you would want to set the IP address of the host machine that will be running ALSMS prior to installing ALSMS Software. If you have forgotten to do this or if you just need to change the address you would use the ChangeIP tool to change the ALSMS IP address in the ALSMS database. This Configuration Example will show you how to do this on a standalone, Windows based ALSMS server. The process is slightly different on a Solaris machine or if you are using redundant servers. See the Administration guide for more detail in those situations.

ChangeIP Tool (Notes) If you had already created Bricks, you would need to connect to each Brick and change the address in the ALSMS IP Address field prior to changing the address in the ALSMS server. If you are running on a Solaris server or have redundant ALSMS servers, see Appendix C in the ALSMS Administration guide.

ChangeIP Tool Log into the ALSMS Navigator (must be directly on the ALSMS server). Click on “Host Groups” from the menu. Double Click on the ALSMS host group. Add the IP Address that you will be changing to into the Host group. See detail on next slide.
