CLI cookbook: configuring a second network interface

This topic describes how to configure a static IP address on a second network interface.

Procedure

Add a NIC to the Delphix virtual machine. The specific procedure will depend on the platform. For example, on VMware, a VMXNET3 virtual network adapter can be added dynamically from vSphere or other administrative interfaces, and the Delphix Engine will recognize the new NIC without a reboot. On other platforms, a reboot may be required for the Delphix Engine to recognize the new virtual hardware.

Log in to the Delphix Engine as the sysadmin user and switch to the network interface context. Then use the list command to view the available network interfaces, and select the new interface to be configured.

delphix network interface> list
NAME    
vmxnet3s0
vmxnet3s1
delphix network interface> select vmxnet3s1
delphix network interface "vmxnet3s1"> get
    type: NetworkInterface
    name: vmxnet3s1
    addresses: (empty)
    device: vmxnet3s1
    macAddress: 0:c:29:e5:4c:c1
    mtu: 1500
    mtuRange: 60-9000
    reference: NETWORK_INTERFACE-vmxnet3s1
    state: DOWN

Run the updatecommand and configure a static address.

delphix network interface "vmxnet3s1"> update
delphix network interface "vmxnet3s1" update *> edit addresses.0
delphix network interface "vmxnet3s1" update addresses.0 *> set address=10.1.2.3/24
delphix network interface "vmxnet3s1" update addresses.0 *> get
    type: InterfaceAddress (*)
    address: 10.1.2.3/24 (*)
    addressType: STATIC (*)

Commit the operation.

delphix network interface "vmxnet3s1" update addresses.0 *> commit
delphix network interface "vmxnet3s1"> get
    type: NetworkInterface
    name: vmxnet3s1
    addresses:
        0:
            type: InterfaceAddress
            address: 10.1.2.3/24
            addressType: STATIC
            state: OK
    device: vmxnet3s1
    macAddress: 0:c:29:e5:4c:c1
    mtu: 1500
    mtuRange: 60-9000
    reference: NETWORK_INTERFACE-vmxnet3s1
    state: OK
