Configuring IPMI / DRAC Interface

Note: If configuring all networking parameters simultaneously, you can run the apply and reboot commands at the end of all configurations instead of running them for each.

Configuring the Management Interface

Perform the following steps to configure the management interface:

Enter the set interface static <ip> <netmask> <default gateway> where specified variables denotes the following values:
- <ip> - IP address of the management interface
- <netmask> - Netmask of the network (for example, 255.255.255.0)
- <default gateway> - Default gateway of the network
CLI displays the following prompt:
```
Applying network settings now might cause the network to disconnect.
If you do not apply network settings now, network settings will
take effect only after running "apply" and "reboot"
Do you want to apply network settings now? (y/n)
```
Enter y.
Enter the apply command to apply the changes.
If no further configuration changes are required, enter the reboot command to restart the device.

Configuring DNS

You must set up Domain Name Servers (DNS) in Awake appliances to use hostname instead of IP addresses. Perform the following steps to configure DNS:

Enter the primary and secondary servers.
Enter the apply command to apply the changes.
If no further configuration changes are required, enter the reboot command to restart the device.

Configuring Proxy

Awake appliances support outgoing connection using the customer's proxy (without SSL interception). Perform the following steps to configure proxy for outgoing connections:

Enter the set proxy servers command.
Enter the required details when an interactive prompt asks for the following information:
- Host: The IP address of the proxy server.
  
  Note: You may enter the hostname instead of the IP address if DNS already has been configured, applied, and the system was rebooted.
- Port: The port of the proxy server
- Username / password: Enter the credentials if the proxy requires authentication.
Enter the apply command to apply the changes.
If no further configuration changes are required, enter the reboot command to restart the device.

Configuring IPMI / DRAC Interface

Awake appliances provide a dedicated network interface for the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and the Dell™ Remote Assistant Card (DRAC) interface. Perform the following steps to configure IPMI:

Enter the set ipmi config command.
Enter the required details when an interactive prompt asks for the following information:
- IPMI Interface Mode (static or dhcp): Sets the interface to either DHCP or Static mode.
  Note: We recommend setting the interface to static mode.
- IP: The static IP address of the interface.
- Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of the network. For example, 255.255.255.0
- Default Gateway: The default gateway of the network
- Would you like to change the ipmi admin password: : Enter y to configure the IPMI password, else enter n.
  Note:
  - The default password is printed on a label on the appliance.
  - The password can be shared if it is configured by the Awake team.
  - The password should not exceed 20 characters and must contain numbers, uppercase letters, and symbols.
Enter the apply command to apply the changes.
If no further configuration changes are required, enter the reboot command to restart the device.

Verifying the Configuration

After the reboot is complete, log in to the CLI and enter the show networking command to verify the current configuration.

This command displays networking configuration settings for the management and IPMI/DRAC interfaces. Ensure that the network settings are correct.

Cabling the Appliance

For all Awake Security appliances, connect the management port to your network. For Awake All-in-One and Sensor appliances, connect the packet capture port to the span port of your switch.

Cable the Awake Nucleus appliance in one of the following ways as appropriate for your installation:

For a single nucleus installation, interconnect ports are unused and should not be connected.
For a dual nucleus installation, connect a network cable from the first nucleus interconnect port to the second nucleus interconnect port.
For a nucleus cluster with more than two nucleus appliances, attach a network cable from one of the interconnect ports from each nucleus and connect it to the supplied Arista switch.
