and vCenter Server. Type the new IP address. The Netmask and Default gateway are automatically

copied from the ESXi hosts form.

new IP address, as described in task 10.

• If you change the IP address of vCenter Server, you have to change the IP address of vCenter Log

Insight (in task 8, Globals) to be on the same subnet.

• Port numbers remain the same. EVO:RAIL — 7443 and vSphere WebClient — 9443.

• If you are using Internet Explorer as your browser, you must select Compatibility View settings

and clear both options for the new web address.

Network VLAN ID. Click Add a VM network to add more VM network.
