Managing Host System Network Interfaces
| Warning |
|---|
The AWS EC2 environment has specific characteristics that could conflict with interface configurations made via the Charon Manager. Please refer to the Amazon AWS documentation and to the sections Network Management and Example of a More Complex Network Configuration to understand the networking behaviour of an AWS instance better before you change any interface settings via the Charon Manager. In particular, if you added a second interface to the system, do not apply any changes via the Network Manager until you created a configuration file for the second interface and are sure both interfaces are working correctly. |
Open the network settings window as described above by clicking on Tools > Network Settings.
...
IP setting: specify the method used for the IPv4 addressing of the interface. Options are Automatic (DHCP), Manual, and None.
IP address: if manual addressing is selected, the host IP address can be added in this field. The field is inactive if DHCP or None is selected.
Netmask: if manual addressing is selected, the netmask for the host IP address can be added in this field. The field is inactive if DHCP or None is selected.
Gateway: if manual addressing is selected, the default gateway for the host can be added in this field. The field is inactive if DHCP or None is selected.
Be careful not to select a default gateway not matching the AWS subnet structure. Doing so may cause you to permanently lose access to your instance.DNS server 1 and DNS server 2: if manual addressing is selected, enter the IP address of one or two DNS name servers. Inactive if DHCP or None is selected.
