Changing the Hostname
To retrieve the current system hostname:
netmgr hostname --get
To set a new hostname:
netmgr hostname --set --name <hostname>
Configuring DNS Servers
Retrieve the Current DNS Servers
netmgr dns_servers --get
Set the DNS Mode and Servers
You can configure DNS to use either DHCP or a static mode and specify one or more DNS servers:
netmgr dns_servers --set --mode <dhcp|static> --servers <server1,server2,...>
Add a DNS Server
To add a new DNS server:
netmgr dns_servers --add --servers <server>
Remove a DNS Server
To remove a specific DNS server:
netmgr dns_servers --del --servers <server>
Note:
When modifying the DNS server list (such as when changing networks or decommissioning old DNS servers), it is recommended to remove the existing DNS servers first before adding new ones. This prevents exceeding the maximum number of DNS servers that can be registered to the SRM server or vSphere Replication appliance.
Configuring an IPv4 Address
Retrieve the Current IPv4 Address for an Interface
netmgr ip4_address --get --interface <ifname>
Set a New IPv4 Address
To assign a DHCP, static, or no IP address:
netmgr ip4_address --set --interface <ifname> --mode <dhcp|static|none> --addr <ipv4_address/prefix> --gateway <gateway_address>
Restarting Network Services
After making networking changes, restart the relevant services for the changes to take effect:
Restart the Network Service:
systemctl restart systemd-networkd
Restart the DNS Service:
systemctl restart systemd-resolved
