Setting Up Oracle Roving Edge Device
1. From the controlling host terminal window, select the Configure the Network menu option. The following
options are displayed:
•
Set Node IP Settings (Current Node Only): Set the node IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
•
Display Settings: Show the current network settings.
•
Set Public IP Pool Range for Compute Instances: Set the external IP address pool for compute instances.
IP addresses are allocated from this pool when an instance is created with public IP address assigned to it.
Important – This operation removes the current external IP address pool, and replaces it with the ranges from
the new input.
The best practice is to use a contiguous range of IPs. An ideal range is a CIDR range such as 10.10.0.0 -
10.10.0.15, which corresponds to 10.10.0.0/28, which is what is stored internally.
If you're updating your public IP pool range, none of the IPs in the existing range can be allocated to a
compute instance during the operation. The best practice is to ensure all public IPs are dissociated with all
compute instances before updating your public IP pool range.
•
Display Public IP Pool Status: Show the current public IP pool range.
•
Control Network Ports: Enable or disable network ports.
•
Configure DNS: Configure the DNS servers for the current node control plane. Reboot the device for the DNS
configurations to take effect, if the device is already unlocked.
•
Configure Subnet Gateway: Configure the gateway for a given subnet. The destination can be the default
IGW or a private IP Address. You can perform the following tasks:
•
Show Configuration: Show the current subnet gateway configuration. The output shows whether the
destination is IGW or a private IP address for each subnet.
•
Update Configuration: Update the current subnet gateway configuration. For example:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Idx
Subnet CIDR
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1
10.0.1.0/24
2
10.0.2.0/24
3
10.0.3.0/24
Enter Subnet Index: 1
Enter the gateway (IGW or private IP address) for this subnet:
•
Configure NTP: Perform the following NTP configuration tasks:
•
Display NTP Configuration: Configure external NTP servers. For example:
Local Time and RTC
Local time: Fri 2022-05-13 04:26:41 UTC
Universal time: Fri 2022-05-13 04:26:41 UTC
RTC time: Fri 2022-05-13 04:26:43
Time zone: UTC (UTC, +0000)
NTP enabled: n/a
NTP synchronized: no
RTC in local TZ: no
DST active: n/a
•
Update NTP configuration: Identify the primary and secondary servers that set up the NTP configuration
for the device.
•
Reset Network: Reset the network by erasing all the network configurations such as Node IP, Public pool,
DNS, NTP, and Gateway.
•
Help: Display online help for the Network Configuration menu options.
•
Go Back: Return to the main serial console menu.
2. Use the menu options to configure the device network parameters according to your network environment. At
minimum, configure these parameters:
