Issue/Introduction

Steps to update the IP address of a running Detection API Appliance without needing to reimage the appliance. 

Environment

DLP versions: 15.8, 16.0, 16.0.1

Resolution

Connect to the command line interface (CLI) from the server.  

The CLI is accessible by two methods: Serial Console and SSH (for more details please review the About the Command Line Interface (CLI) (v16.0.1 - techdocs.broadcom.com) and Symantec_DLP_Appliance_Command_Line_Interface_Reference.pdf (v15.x - techdocs.broadcom.com))

The interface option allows one to change the IP address

Here is an example of the command to run at the CLI to add a new IP address: 

localhost(config)# interface 0:0 ip-address new.ip.add.ress 255.255.254.0

once the new IP is created the old IP can be deleted with this command: 

localhost(config)# interface 0:0 no ip-address old.ip.add.ress 255.255.xx.x
