VM-100 will not configure management interface.

RobinClayton — Mon, 09 Oct 2017 10:09:39 GMT

We have a VM-100 to run int our test environment ( VMware 5.5)

Pan-OS8.0.0

Despite reading the same information over and over I can't get the management interface to come up.

I have applied the config

#set deviceconfig system ip-address 128.129.10.40 netmask 255.255.255.0

#comit

but "show interface management" has

ip address unknown

netmask unknown

default gateway unknown

the MAC address is that of configured VMware interface.

the running config shows the address.

So I am stuck!

Hi Robin,

When you do "show deviceconfig system" in configure mode what does it shows ?

Can you try once with 'commit force' and check if that makes any difference.

Also is the port status for the NIC interface up on the VMware side ?

@RobinClayton,

Sounds like you haven't actually set the device as static, dumb I know but it's a step you have to take even if you set the system ip-address info. Try the following in configure on the CLI 'set deviceconfig system type static' and restart and see if that fixes your Mangement IP issue.

I thought it may be something liek that but could not find the command to take it off DHCP.

Sorted 🙂

Cheers

Rob

FYI, didn't need to restart, just commit.
