FMC Smartlince registration from a segregated secute network

Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble registering my FMC with Smart Licensing because it's on a segmented network with no direct internet access. I've added a secondary NIC (eth1) with internet connectivity, but I cannot find in the FMC's any interface configuration and this doesn't allow me to assign an IP to eth1. Attempts to manually configure eth1 have resulted in routing table conflicts.

My FMC is running Wind River Linux LTS 21.20 Update 21. Here's the output of ip addr:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65535 ... inet 127.0.0.1/21 ... inet6 ::1/128 ... 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 ... inet x.x.x.x/24 ... 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ... 4: docker0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 ... inet 198.18.0.1/24 ...

s it possible to assign a public IP address to eth1 to enable Smart Licensing registration? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

How are you running FMC on a third party Linux distribution? FMC comes with RHEL built-in and it is not supported to run it on other distributions.

Marvin he is not running on a third part Linux distro. For newer versions it's the Wind River Linux
