How To Change the IP Address on a Secure Messaging Gateway Server

I need to change the IP address on my SMG server.

Here are steps on how to change the IP address on a SMG server:

1.  Change the IP under the following two sections in the System Management web page

   a.  System Management | Manage Servers | <server.domain> | Connection address

b. Module Management | Scan Engine Manager | Message filter engine | Connection address

2. Edit the interfaces file, located in /etc/network, with the new IP.

1. Login to the server using Putty as the gwava user
2. To gain root access type: sudo su (when prompted type in the gwava password)
3. Change directories by typing: cd /etc/network
4. Edit the interfaces file by typing: vi interfaces
5. Hit the 'insert' key to edit the file
6. Make the change to the IP
7. Hit Esc, then type: :wq

3. Reboot the server by typing: reboot

The server should now respond on the new IP address.
