If you have installed Litmus Edge Manager on ESXi and there is no IP address shown to access the interface, you must set a static IP address. See [Set a Static IP Address](docId\:eu1MB0qeHF67YNC6i3ohh) to learn more. # Video :::Iframe{code=""} ::: # Step 1: Add a New IP Address to Interface You will first need to add the new IP address to the *Interfaces *section of the *Network *page. **To add a new IP address:** 1. Navigate to Litmus Edge Manager Admin Console's **Settings > Network > Interface **tab, and click **Update**. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/SSUUxKZUk9bFTEPNn_6Zo/Lc0RblsHHm_r8nwOWlVOM_2023-07-2409-07-52.png "Adding a new IP address") 2. Click **Add new Address.** 3. Enter the following fields - For the *IPv4 Address* field, enter the **new IP address in CIDR notation **that will be used to access Litmus Edge Manager. - For the *Gateway* field, enter the IPv4 Address's respective **Gateway** value. - For this example, `172.20.21.114/23` and `172.20.20.1` will be used. 4. Click **Update. ** ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/SSUUxKZUk9bFTEPNn_6Zo/u6BiHzuloCV46cMouduld_image.png" size="80" width="1920" height="866" caption="Adding a New IP Address to Interface" position="center" showCaption="true"} :::hint{type="warning"} **Important**: Wait 15 minutes for the changes to be implemented before moving to the next step. ::: # Step 2: Change Base Domain Name to the New IP Address After waiting for the new IP address to be implemented, you can update the base domain name. :::hint{type="info"} **Note**: The base domain name will be automatically updated to the new IP address if the following is true: - The DHCP checkbox for the interface was not selected. - The previous base domain name was an IP address rather than a domain name. - The previous base domain name was not included as an IP address for the interface. ::: **To change the base domain name: ** 1. Navigate to Litmus Edge Manager Admin Console's **Settings **> **Domain/SSL** pane. 2. For the *Base Domain Name* field, enter the** IPv4 address **from the previous step. You will need to reactivate any Litmus Edge devices previously activated by this Litmus Edge Manager. 3. Click **Save**. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/SSUUxKZUk9bFTEPNn_6Zo/0hC6UVX_SCZ5rvkBq0B1D_image.png" size="80" width="1920" height="866" caption="Change Base Domain Name" position="center" showCaption="true"} # Step 3: Change Edge Remote Name to the New IP Address You will need to wait for the new base domain name to be implemented before update the Edge remote name. **To change the Edge remote name: ** 1. Wait several minutes for the changes to be implemented. Then, open a new browser and access the Litmus Edge Manager Admin Console using the new IPv4 address (in this use case, it would be: `172.20.21.144:8446`) from Step 1 and Step 2. 2. Navigate to **Settings **> **Domain/SSL**. 3. For the *Edge Remote endpoint* field, enter the** IPv4 address **from *Step 1: Add a New IP Address to Interface*. The *Base Domain Name* field and *Edge Remote endpoint* field should be identical. 4. Click **Save**. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/SSUUxKZUk9bFTEPNn_6Zo/7Aqe2Ky7tikkegs1A7LQ__image.png" size="80" width="1920" height="866" caption="Change Edge Remote endpoint" position="center" showCaption="true"} # Step 4: Remove Old Address from Interface and Disable DHCP The final step is to remove the old IP address from the interface and disable DHCP. **To disable DHCP and remove an old IP address:** 1. Navigate to **Settings > Network > Interface **tab and click **Update**. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/SSUUxKZUk9bFTEPNn_6Zo/0qb8XH098J19I53ItfL3L_2023-07-2409-12-46.png "Updating interface") 2. Disable **DHCP** by unselecting the checkbox then click **Update**. This will set the interface from *DHCP* to *Static*. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/SSUUxKZUk9bFTEPNn_6Zo/TXj0wQxNSIaLvWZg3xTBH_disable-dhcp.png" size="80" width="1920" height="866" caption="Disable DHCP" position="center" showCaption="true"} 3.
