Update the Hostname or IP Address in the Management Center

If you edit the hostname or IP address of a device after you added it to the management center (using the device’s CLI, for example), you need to use the procedure below to manually update the hostname or IP address on the managing management center.

If you used only the NAT ID when registering the device, then the IP shows as NO-IP on this page, and you do not need to update the IP address/hostname.

Procedure


Step 1

Choose Devices > Device Management.

Step 2

Next to the device where you want to modify management options, click Edit (edit icon).

Step 3

Click Device, and view the Management area.

Step 4

Disable management temporarily by clicking the slider so it is disabled (slider disabled).

You are prompted to proceed with disabling management; click Yes.

Disabling management blocks the connection between the management center and the device, but does not delete the device from the management center.

Step 5

Edit the Host IP address or hostname by clicking Edit (edit icon).

Step 6

In the Management dialog box, modify the name or IP address in the Host field, and click Save.
