You can configure settings for the DNS servers, search domains, gateway, and NICs for the appliance in the Network tab. You might need to modify these settings after the initial setup if you move the appliance VM to a new host server, or move the host server to a new domain in your network environment. You can also optionally restrict the networks that are allowed to access the appliance.
IMPORTANT:Because most services depend on continual service availability, changing network settings on the appliance should only be done when the services supported are offline.
