VLM for Oracle VirtualBox
Installation Guide
Figure 3-3: Nameserver IP addresses
4. Enter a space-separated list of nameserver IP addresses.
5. A message will appear asking to continue licensing via the WUI. Try to access the IP
address via a web browser. Ensure to enter https:// before the IP address.
6. Contact the local KEMP Customer Services Representative for further support if needed.
3.2 Static MAC Addresses Must Be Configured
In case you move a VLM system to a different virtual machine, ensure that the MAC addresses of
the virtual machine’s NICs stay the same. It is recommended to configure static MAC addresses
for all NICs within virtual machines.
For further information on configuring static MAC addresses, please refer to the relevant Oracle
documentation.
3.3 Factory Reset
If you perform a factory reset on your VLM, all configuration data, including the VLM’s IP address
is deleted. During the subsequent reboot the VLM attempts to obtain an IP address via DHCP. If
the VLM is on a different subnet to the DHCP server then an IP address will not be obtained and
the IP address is set to the default 192.168.1.101.
The VLM may not be accessible using this address. If this is the case then you must run through
the quick setup via the console as described in Section 3.1.
3.4 NIC Ordering After Reboot
When you add a new NIC to the VLM and reboot the machine, addresses are assigned to the
NICs based on the order they are detected during the device scan. There is no guarantee that
the NICs will retain the addresses they had previous to the reboot.
Thus, if you had a VLM setup with NIC0 assigned to eth0 add NIC1 assigned to eth1, after adding
a third NIC, NIC3, and rebooting, there is no guarantee that that NIC0 and NIC1 will remain
assigned to the interfaces they were assigned to previous to addition of an extra NIC. For
example NIC0 could end up assigned to eth1 and NIC 1 assigned to eth2.
This will not occur if no additional NICs are added. For further information on ensuring that the
ordering remains constant, please refer to the Oracle VirtualBox documentation.
