Configuring NSM Network Settings

To configure the network

  1. Open the CLI prompt.

    Refer the below platform wise steps to open the CLI:

  2. Fetch the interface by running:

    show network
  3. Configure the network by running:

    network interface <interface name> ip <ip address> netmask <netmask> gateway <gateway>

    Replace

    • interface name with the name that you fetched in step 2 above.

    • ip address with the IP address that you want to configure the NSM.

      For upgrading NSM, use the same IP address for NSM 3.2.0 as used for NSM 3.1.1 HF1.

    • Assign a netmask and gateway.

    For example,

    network interface eth0 ip 10.61.244.85 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.61.244.254
    • interface name - eth0

    • ip address - 10.61.244.85

    • netmask - 255.255.255.0

    • gateway - 10.61.244.254

  4. Configure dns server by running:

    dns primary <dns>

    Replace <dns> with dns server address.

  5. Verify dns is set by running:

    ping lm2.sonicwall.com

    This command is applicable only for open network installation.

  6. Verify the network changes have been applied by running:

    show network
  7. Verify if the NSM is accessible to internet by running:

    ping mysonicwall.com
  8. Verify the current state of the system, whether it is ready to be accessed from browser or not by running:

    show system
