How to configure second interface in vCenter Server Appliance
Some time we require one more ethernet to be configured in vCenter Server Appliance .
It does not shows in vCenter web interface to configure it .below are the small trick .
1- Connect to the VCSA via SSH (default username and password is root/vmware)
2- Copy /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 to /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1
3- Edit ifcfg-eth1 and replace the networking information with your values, here is how mine looks:
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=’static’
STARTMODE=’auto’
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCONTROL=’no’
IPADDR=’172.16.1.52′
NETMASK=’255.255.255.0′
BROADCAST=’172.16.1.255′
4- Create a symlink for this file in /etc/sysconfig/network
ln -s /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1 /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1
5-Restart the networking service to activate the new setup:
#service network restart
6- Check the VCSA web management interface to verify that the new settings are active
