Configuring ICE OS Server Addresses
ICE Server supports the use of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for IP address assignment but does not support IP address change by lease renewal on the DHCP server, ICE OS on premise, or AWS / Azure.
The DHCP service should reserve the assigned IP address exclusively for the ICE OS VM. ICE Server will become inaccessible if the DHCP service assigns a different IP address at any time post-installation.
The ICE OS VM’s IP address should NOT be changed:
*after a reboot
*if the DHCP has expired on its own, and got auto-renewed
*if the network administration forces a DHCP renewal
To configure server addresses
1. From the Start screen, press Ctrl + N on your keyboard to advance to the Node Config screen.
