Configuring ETKMSs
EncrypTight User Guide 49
Configure the Network Connection
The eth0 connection is the network connection with a path to the management workstation running
ETPM and to the PEPs’ management port. The eth1 connection is inactive and unavailable. Set the
network connection as required by your network configuration, but it is recommended that you set a static
IP address. You can assign both an IPv4 address and IPv6 address, if needed.
NOTE
If any of your ETEPs are configured with IPv6 addresses, you must configure the ETKMS and the
management workstation to use an IPv6 address instead of, or in addition to, an IPv4 address. If the
ETKMS software is configured with an IPv4 address only, it cannot initiate connections to ETEPs that have
IPv6 addresses. ETPM will not allow you to deploy a policy that includes an IPv4 ETKMS and IPv6
ETEPs.
IPv4
Setting up the network connection requires running two scripts.
To configure the network connection and hostname:
1 At the command prompt, type
system-config-network.
2Tab to the Edit Devices option and press Enter.
3Tab to the eth0 device and press Enter.
4 Make sure that DHCP is not selected (use the spacebar to clear any selection) and then enter the:
● Static IP
● Netmask
● Default Gateway IP address
5Tab to OK and press Enter.
6Tab to Save and press Enter.
7Tab to Edit DNS configuration and press Enter.
8 Enter the Hostname, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Search information.
9Tab to OK and press Enter.
10 Tab to Save & Quit and press Enter.
11 At the command prompt, type
/opt/etkms/bin/etc-hosts-config.sh and press Enter.
12 At the command line, restart the network service by typing
service network restart and press
Enter.
13 At the command line, restart the ETKMS service by typing
service etkms restart and press
Enter.
Verify the IP Address and Hostname Changes
You can use the following commands to verify the IP address and hostname changes:
● At the command line, type ifconfig and press Enter to view the IP address.
● At the command line, type hostname and press Enter to view the full hostname, such as
serv4.company.com.
● Type hostname -s and press Enter to view the short hostname. In this example, if the full
hostname is
serv4.company.com, the short name is serv4.
