Cannot configure secondary NIC in APIC-Em

[vivek.suriyanarayanan1]

Hi All,

I have recently installed APIC-EM for POC in our LAB servers, i have configured 1 NIC configured with PUBLIC IP to access the APIC-EM to access the GUI which is working fine.

Now i would like to install another NIC so that it can discover my lab routers as part of the discover and deploy method, but i am unable to find any option in the GUI to select the NIC or change any existing NIC details, should i be looking at the grapevine CLI to make the changes.

Need some assistance.

regards,

Vivek

If I understand correctly, you like to have another private IP and use it to discover you devices in the same network.

I think you can get into grapevine to configure with config_wizard command or configure interface as you would configure it in Ubuntu.

It's Ubuntu under the covers, so you can edit /etc/network/interfaces and add:

auto eth1

iface eth1 inet static

address ...

broadcast ...

netmask ...

gateway ...

Then you can run "ifup eth1".
