Configuring general networking settings

Set the host name of the appliance.

About this task

This page is not available in the LMI when the appliance runs in a container environment.

Procedure

  1. From the top menu, select System > Network Settings > General.
  2. Enter the host name.
    Note:
    • Changing the appliance host name causes the security device to reset the network connection. You must reconnect after the network connection is reset. This process does not interrupt traffic through the application interfaces.
    • The system hostname is automatically added to the appliance hosts file. The appliance will associate an available IPv4 management address with the system hostname. Alternatively, a particular IPv4 management address can be designated as the Primary Address to associate with the system hostname in the hosts file. See Configuring interfaces for instructions to set a Primary Address.
  3. Click Save Configuration.
