This article provides information on how to change the IP address of the SDI once it's installed.

To change the IP address of the SDI, please follow the step

Step 1:- Delete the SDI (Whose IP you want to change) from the security director GUI.

• Login to SD GUI and go to
• Administration --> Logging Management --> Logging Nodes
• Click on the SDI Whose IP you want to change and click delete. Once the SDI is deleted, proceed with the next step.

Step 2:- Login to the SDI from CLI and run the following command to check the current IP address and interface.

# server

# show ip (Check IP)

# show interface (Check IP on Interfaces)

Step 3:- To Change the IP please run the following command

# set ip address <New IP> netmask <subnet> gateway <gateway IP>

Example:-

set ip address 10.x.x.x netmask 255.x.x.x gateway 10.x.x.x

Step 4:- Once you change the IP network interface will restart automatically with the following message.

- A complete network interface restart can take more than 60 seconds

- Restarting management (eth0) interface

Step 5:- Login to the SDI with the new IP and check the IP is changed with the below commands.

# server

# show ip (Check IP)

# show interface (Check IP on Interfaces)

Step 6:- After confirming the IP is changed in the Step 5. Add the SDI in the SD again.

• Login to SD GUI and go to
• Administration --> Logging Management --> Logging Nodes
• Click on (+) icon and add the Security Director as a log collector.

Note:-

There would be downtime as the logs will get impacted during the IP change and it will settle up automatically once the IP is successfully changed.
If the SDI is not added in the SD please follow the procedure from step 2 to step 4.
The logs needs to be forwarded from SRX to the new IP of SDI.
If legacy log collector IP needs to used in SDI, make sure to turn off the VM of old log collector before using its IP
