Configuring the management network interface

To configure the management network interface:

  1. In the Installation summary menu, select the Management interface section.
  2. In the list of network interfaces, select the network interface that you want to use as the controlling interface.
  3. In the Host name field, enter the fully qualified domain name of the server and click Apply.

    Enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server, for example: host.domain.com or host.domain.subdomain.com.

  4. Click Configure and configure the network interface:
    1. In the Connection name field, enter the name of the connection.
    2. Enter the IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address.
    3. In the DNS servers field, enter the IPv4 address of the primary DNS server.

      You can enter a comma-separated list of servers.

    4. If necessary, in the Search domains field, enter a domain name for quick access to the server.
    5. If you want to use only IPv4 for this connection, select the Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete check box.

      By default, the check box is cleared. Enabling only IPv4 addressing for this connection is not recommended.

    6. Configure the static network route.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Turn on the Ethernet toggle switch.
  7. Click Done.

The management network interface is configured.
