Configure VLANs and aliases

Prev Next

Add Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and aliases to a Trellix ESM - ACE or Trellix Enterprise Security Manager - Enterprise Log Manager. Aliases are assigned IP address and netmask pairs that you add if you have a network device with more than one IP address.

  1. On the system navigation tree, select a device, click the Properties icon GUID-F191D568-8B93-4D2C-9BFC-F1342FC407BD-low.png, then click device Configuration.

  2. In the Interfaces section of the Network tab, click Setup, then click Advanced.

  3. Click Add VLAN, enter the information requested, then click OK.

    • Identify the VLAN number in the system.

    • Enable DHCP services for non-cloud environments. DHCP is useful if you need to reset the IP addresses for your network.

      Caution

      If you are using a redundant Trellix Enterprise Security Manager - Enterprise Log Manager, redundancy stops working if the IP address of the redundant device is changed.

    • IPv4 is selected by default. If you have IPv6, set Network Settings to Manual or Auto. The IPv6 option is enabled.

    • Identify the VLAN IP address.

    • Identify the IPv4 netmask (disabled if the IP address is in IPv6 format).

  4. Select the VLAN where you want to add the alias, then click Add Alias.

    • Identify the VLAN this alias is on.

      Note

      The system prepopulates VLAN with the number of the VLAN this alias is being added to. If it is the Untagged VLAN, this number is 0.

    • Indicate whether the IP address is an IPv4 or IPv6 format.

    • Indicate the netmask (if the address is in IPv4 format).

  5. Click OK.
