Procedure: Changing the service IP address of a node canister
This procedure identifies many methods that you can use to change the service IP address of a node canister.
About this task
When you change an IPv4 address, you change the IP address, the subnet mask, and gateway. When you change an IPv6 address, you change the IP address, prefix, and gateway.
Which method to use depends on the status of the system and the other node canisters in the system. Follow the methods in the order that is shown until you are successful in setting the IP address to the required value.
You can either set an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address as the service IP address of a node. Enter the required address correctly to avoid disabling the node canister access. For more information, see Configuring VLAN.
