Environment

Applies to PlateSpin Forge 3.1 (Appliance 2.0)

Situation

After reconfiguring the IP address of the Forge Appliance, the FACC cannot be reached on the new IP.
 
This issue can occur if the switch or other networking device that Forge is connected to does not automatically update its records for the new IP.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, log directly into the Forge Appliance via the console and ping out to re-establish network connectivity.
 
If this does not resolve the issue, confirm that the IP address is properly configured.
