Scenario 2
Problem:
I'm trying to change the management IP for ACS 5.2 in GUI, but failed to find it.
Is there any way to change the IP address in ACS GUI?
Solution
you cannot change the IP address in the GUI. The ACS is an application which run on an appliance. You must change the IP address on appliance level, to do so ssh to your appliance and login,
then configure terminal
interface gigabit 0
ip address [your ip address] [your network mask]
exit
exit
write memory
