Changing Network
Settings in an
All-in-One Console
You can change the network settings in your All-In-One system. An All-In-One
system has all STRM components, including the Administration Console, installed
on one system.
To change the settings on the STRM Console:
Note: You must have a local connection to your Console before executing the
script.
Step 1 Log in to the Console, as root.
Step 2 Enter the following command:
qchange_netsetup
The Configure STRM window appears.

Step 3 Using the up/down arrow keys to navigate the fields, change the necessary
parameters:
•Hostname — Specify a fully qualified domain name as the system hostname.
Note: If you change the hostname and you are using Offense Resolution, we
recommend you also update the Resolver Agent name, if a Resolver Agent is
assigned to the host.
•IP Address - Specify the IP address of the system.
•Netmask - Specify the network mask address for the system.
•Gateway - Specify the default gateway of the system.
•Primary DNS - Specify the primary DNS server.

Public IP address is often configured using Network Address Translation (NAT)
services on your network or firewall settings on your network. NAT translates an
IP address in one network to a different IP address in another network.
•Email Server - Specify the email server. If you do not have an email server,
specify localhost in this field.
