How can I change IP of APIC-EM

Rasika Nayanajith — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 12:29:02 GMT

I have installed APIC-EM 1.2. Now I want to change the IP address of this server ? What is the procedure for this

I hope I can do this without re-installation

As far as i remember , You will have to run the config_wizard from the cli of the APIC-EM cluster.

Steps:

1. SSH using grapevine user to APIC-EM

2. Run ./Config_wizard

Note: I will let others comment too. Meanwhile i will try to find the answer

Hi,

Adding comments to Rohan's Reply As you are planning to change the host ip address for APIC-EM you need to first ensure that the DNS and NTP servers are reachable before you run the configuration wizard and whenever a Cisco APIC-EM host reboots in the deployment. Also If the external IP address changes for your controller for any reason, then you need to re-import a new certificate with the changed or new IP address.

Please refer the deployment guide for more details.

Thanks and Regards,

Geevarghese

Hi Rohan,

Thanks for your response.

I am getting the following error when I run config_wizard as the grapevine user. I have also tried running the command as root, but the command is not found.

how are you running this? from an SSH session, or from VM console?

Re: How can I change IP of APIC-EM

SSH to APIC-EM as grapevine user.

Not via VM console (tried that too, but did not work, even that command did not run via console)

Hi All,

I found out the above error occurred only on SecureCRT. When I used Putty everything worked normally.

Thanks for the help

great news. It looks like an issue with the terminal emulation.

Thanks for the update

BTW, what terminal emulation are you using for SecureCRT? xterm?
