Once a machine boots from bootable media, the machine terminal displays a startup window with the IP address(es) obtained from DHCP or set according to the pre-configured values.
Configuring network settings
To change the network settings for a current session, click Configure network in the startup window. The Network Settings window that appears will allow you to configure network settings for each network interface card (NIC) of the machine.
Changes made during a session will be lost after the machine reboots.
Adding VLANs
In the Network Settings window, you can add virtual local area networks (VLANs). Use this functionality if you need access to a backup location that is included in a specific VLAN.
VLANs are mainly used to divide a local area network into segments. A NIC that is connected to an access port of the switch always has access to the VLAN specified in the port configuration. A NIC connected to a trunk port of the switch can access the VLANs allowed in the port configuration only if you specify the VLANs in the network settings.
To enable access to a VLAN via a trunk port
After you click OK, a new entry appears in the list of network adapters.
If you need to remove a VLAN, click the required VLAN entry, and then click Remove VLAN.
Local connection
To operate directly on the machine booted from bootable media, click Manage this machine locally in the startup window.
Remote connection
To connect a management console to a remote machine booted from bootable media, select Connect > Manage a remote machine in the console menu, and then specify one of the machine's IP addresses. Provide the user name and password if these were configured when creating the bootable media.
