Today, one of the remote engineers (Jim) asked me to put an IP address
on a Palo Alto firewall so he could configure it remotely. He is a
couple of hours away from the box, so after the 13th time of him asking
me, I was happy to do so. So, I plugged a network cable into the
management port, put it in the right vlan on my core switch, and log
into the console port of the Palo Alto with the admin/admin
userID/password. You can use a Cisco console cable if you have one, as
that is what I had. Once you get to the prompt, here is what you do to
get an IP address onto the box:
configure
set deviceconfig system ip-address 192.168.1.6
set deviceconfig system default-gateway 192.168.1.1
commit
That should get Jim onto the box and work his magic remotely.
No net mask?
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I used the key word 'netmask' last night on an install while putting the IP address on. Good catch.
Deleteyou know, I probably should have, but I dont think I did that. Hmmm. Im sure you are right. Why wouldnt you put a subnet mask? Ill have to do that again and see. Ill update later on. Thanks for pointing that out.
