Description

This article describes how to change the IP address of the NetScaler Insight Center from the command line interface.


Instructions

To change the IP address of NetScaler Insight Center, complete the following procedure:

Note: It is recommended to use the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to change the IP address of NetScaler Insight Center. Refer to Citrix Documentation - Modifying the Network Configuration for more information.

  1. Open a Secure Shell (SSH) console to the NetScaler Insight Center.

  2. Log on using the nsroot/nsroot credentials. For NetScaler I0.5 log on using root/nsroot. Please note these are default credentials
    Note: If you are accessing the management service directly through console on NetScaler SDX or Insight Center products, the credentials nsroot/nsroot do not work. The credentials root/nsroot work as before and SSH access to the management service also works as before with either of the credentials.

  3. Run the following command:
    networkconfig

  4. Select the appropriate menu and update the NetScaler Analytics IPv4 address, Netmask, and Gateway IPv4 address, as shown in the following screen shot:

    If the Insight is deployed in the Network we might not be able to change the ip-address with the above commands.

    In that case we will have to run the following command :

    ifconfig 0/1 <ipaddress> netmask <mask> broadcast <broadcastaddr>

    for eg.
    new IP address : 10.10.5.91
    Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
    In this case our Broadcast IP (last IP address of the specific Subnet) will be : 10.10.5.255

    So the command will be :
    " ifconfig 0/1 10.10.5.91 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.10.5.255 "
