Install the
CylanceGATEWAY
Connector to a
vSphere
environment

You can configure the
CylanceGATEWAY Connector
with a static IP. If you want to make changes to the
CylanceGATEWAY Connector
network configuration after it is installed, you can edit the VM's vApp options and restart the
CylanceGATEWAY Connector
for the changes to take affect. For instructions on how to edit the OVF details, see the VMWare documentation to read 'Edit OVF Details for a Virtual Machine'.
Make sure you have permissions to deploy an OVF template into a
vSphere
environment.

    • By default, the
      Use DHCP
      option is enabled and the connector uses automatically assigned IP addresses. If you want to configure the connector with a static IP address, you must clear the Use DHCP check box and provide the IP addresses for the following settings: 
    • In the
      IP address / Prefix Length
      field, enter the IP address and prefix that can be assigned to devices (for example, 192.0.2.100/24). If you add multiple IP addresses, separate each IP address and prefix with a comma (,).
    • In the
      Gateway
      field, enter the IP address for the network gateway (for example, 192.0.2.1).
    • In the
      DNS
      field, specify the IP address for the DNS servers that you want to use (for example, 192.0.2.120). If you add multiple DNS servers, separate the addresses with a comma (,).
  15. On the
    Ready to complete

    Finish
    .
After you install the connector, you can verify that the OVA file is installed correctly in the virtual environment. For instructions, see Configure the CylanceGATEWAY Connector in the VM environment.
