Network Settings Were Not Successfully Applied
An error message that indicates a network problem appears in the console of a newly deployed Identity
Appliance.
Problem
When you deploy the Identity Appliance in vSphere and select the option for a fixed IP address, you enter
the IP address, default gateway, netmask value, and domain name server.
If the virtual appliance starts while the network is unavailable, however, the settings might not be

appliance.
Solution
After deploying the Identity Appliance with a fixed IP address, log in to the virtual appliance console, and
use the following command to configure the network settings.
