How to set up management, main host, and external IP addresses using CLI

How to set up management, main host, and external IP addresses using CLI

Use the following CLI commands to set up external management IPs on Security Event Manager Controller and the other hosts.

Prerequisite

Access the Security Event Manager Controller.

Setting up management IP address on the Security Event Manager Controller

To set management IP/mask and gateway information on the Security Event Manager Controller, run the following command.

fazbdctl set addr {external IP/mask} [<gateway>] --management

To allow the DHCP server to assign external IP/mask on the Security Event Manager Controller, run the following command.

fazbdctl set addr dhcp --management

Setting up main host IP address on the Security Event Manager Controller

Note

The main host IP address only needs to be set up when using a FortiAnalyzer-BigData-VM.

To set main host IP/mask and gateway information on the Security Event Manager Controller, run the following command.

fazbdctl set addr {external IP/mask} [<gateway>] --mainhosts

Setting up external IP address on a single host

To explicitly set external IP/mask and gateway information on a host, run the following command.

fazbdctl set addr -H <internal IP> <external IP/mask> [<gateway>]

To allow the DHCP server to assign external IP/mask on a host, run the following command.

fazbdctl set addr -H <internal IP> dhcp

Setting up external IP addresses on all hosts

To set external IP/mask and gateway information on all hosts, run the following command.

fazbdctl set addr <external IP/mask> [<gateway>] -A

Note

An optional flag is used to set external IP addresses on all hosts from the Security Event Manager Controller. In this case, the <external IP/mask> field specifies the starting external IP address to be assigned to the first host.

The remaining hosts are assigned external IP addresses incrementally from the starting external IP address within the network subnet, wrapping around when the boundary of network subnet is reached. This optional flag does not support DHCP.

Example

In the following example cluster configuration:

Role        Address          Ext Address
controller  10.0.1.2         
member      10.0.1.32
member      10.0.1.33
member      10.0.1.34
member      10.0.1.35
member      10.0.1.36

After running CLI command

fazbdctl set addr 10.106.2.173/24 10.106.2.254 -A

The new cluster configuration becomes:

Role        Address          Ext Address
controller  10.0.1.2         10.106.2.173
member      10.0.1.32        10.106.2.174
member      10.0.1.33        10.106.2.175
member      10.0.1.34        10.106.2.176
member      10.0.1.35        10.106.2.177
member      10.0.1.36        10.106.2.178

Clearing external IP addresses on hosts

To clear external IP/mask and gateway information on a host, run the following command.

fazbdctl unset addr -H <internal IP>

To clear external IP/mask information on all hosts, run the following command.

fazbdctl unset addr -A

Displaying external IP addresses on Security Event Manager Controller and hosts

To display external IP address information on the Security Event Manager Controller and hosts, run the following command.

fazbdctl show members
