5.4 Changing the IP Address of the Access Gateway Service

  1. On the Access Gateway Service, use a system utility to add the new IP address.

    Do not delete the old IP address at this time.

    Linux: Start YaST, click Network Devices > Network Card, then select the Traditional Method.

    Windows: Access the Control Panel, click Network Connections > Local Area Connection > Properties, then select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click Properties > Advanced.

  2. In the Administration Console, import the new IP address:

    1. Click Access Gateways > [Name of Access Gateway] > New IP.

    2. Click OK.

      Wait for the command to complete.

  3. Change the management IP address:

    1. On the Server Details page, click Edit.

    2. If the old IP address is listed as the Management IP Address, select the new IP address.

      If your Access Gateway has multiple IP addresses, select the one that you want the Administration Console to use for communication with the Access Gateway.

    3. (Conditional) Modify the port if there is another device on the Access Gateway that is using the default port of 1443.

    4. If the name of the Access Gateway is the old IP address, modify the Name option.

    5. Click OK.

      The Administration Console uses the configured IP address to find the Access Gateway.

  4. To verify that the new IP address is being used, check the health of the Access Gateway.

  5. Edit the Access Gateway configuration so that the reverse proxies use the new IP address:

    You need to complete these steps for each reverse proxy.

    1. In the Administration Console, click Access Gateways > Edit > [Name of Reverse Proxy].

    2. (Conditional) If a member of a cluster, select the cluster member that has a new IP address.

    3. For the listening address, deselect the old IP address and select the new IP address.

    4. Apply the settings and update the Access Gateway.

    5. Verify that everything is working correctly by accessing a resource protected by this reverse proxy.

  6. On the Access Gateway Service machine, use a system utility to remove the old IP address.

  7. Remove the old IP address from the Administration Console:

    1. Click Access Gateways > [Name of Access Gateway] > New IP.

    2. Click OK.

      Wait for the command to complete.

    3. To verify that the old address has been removed, click Edit and verify that the old address is not an option for the Management IP Address.
