Defining the interfaces using the CLI

Prev Next

Use the commands in this section to define the submission interface on a sensor or hybrid appliance and broker node, and to define the cluster interface on a broker node and compute node.

Note

Alternatively, you can change the interfaces for a broker and node in the configuration wizard. Use the configuration jump-start command to start the wizard.

Defining the submission interface

To define the submission interface on a sensor or hybrid appliance:
  1. Log in to the sensor or hybrid appliance CLI.

  2. Enable the CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  3. Specify the interface:

    hostname (config) # mvx sensor config submission-if <interface name>
  4. If the sensor or hybrid appliance and broker are in different subnets: Specify the IPv4 address of the default gateway for the interface:

    hostname (config) # mvx sensor config submission-if <interface name> default-gateway ipv4 <ipv4 address>
  5. Verify your change:

    hostname (config) # show mvx status
  6. Save your change:

    hostname (config) # write memory
To define the submission interface on a broker node:
  1. Log in to the broker (Virtual Execution) CLI.

  2. Enable the CLI configuration mode

    vx-hostname > enable
    vx-hostname # configure terminal
  3. Specify the interface name:

    vx-hostname (config) # mvx node config submission-if <interface name>
  4. If the broker and any sensors are in different subnets: Specify the IPv4 address of the default gateway for the interface:

    vx-hostname (config) # mvx node config submission-if <interface name> default-gateway ipv4 <ipv4 address>
  5. Verify your changes:

    vx-hostname (config) # show mvx node status
  6. Save your changes:

    vx-hostname (config) # write memory
    Defining the cluster interface
To define the cluster interface on a broker node or compute node:
  1. Log in to the Virtual Execution CLI.

  2. Enable the CLI configuration mode:

    vx-hostname > enable
    vx-hostname # configure terminal
  3. Specify the interface:

    vx-hostname (config) # mvx node config cluster-if <interface name>
  4. Verify your change:

    vx-hostname (config) # show mvx node status
  5. Save your change:

    vx-hostname (config) # write memory

Examples

The following example defines ether2 as the cluster interface on the vx-3 node.

vx-3 (hostname) # mvx node config cluster-if ether2
vx-3 (hostname) # show mvx node status
MVX Cluster: Node Status
    Broker role:
    Enabled                 : no
    Ready:                  : yes
    SSH port                : 22
    Submission Interface    : ether1
    Cluster Interface       : ether2
    Key Hash                : f8:xx:xx:...
...

The following example defines ether2 as the submission interface on the nx-4 sensor.

nx-4 (hostname) # mvx node config submission-if ether2
nx-4 (hostname) # show mvx status

MVX Mode Status:
Sensor Config Enabled        : yes
Current Operating Mode       : sensor
Mode Reboot Required         : no
Submission Interface         : ether2
Modes Supported              : mvx configurable
