Change the Admin (PXE) network interface¶

By default, Fuel assigns eth0 as a network interface for the Admin (PXE) network. If you want to use the default network settings, skip this section.

However, some environments may require you to configure other network interfaces for the Admin (PXE) network. If you plan to use a network interface that is differnt from the default setting, change it before you install the Fuel Master node.

To change the Admin (PXE) network interface:

1. In the Fuel Setup screen, select Network Setup.

2. Select eth0.

3. Change Enable interface to No.

4. Click Apply.

   Fuel disables eth0.

5. Select a network interface that you want to use for Admin (PXE) network traffic.

   For example: eth1.

6. Change Enable interface to Yes.

7. Configure network parameters for eth1.

   Default network parameters are:

   • IP address: 10.20.0.2
   • Netmask: 255.255.255.0
   • Gateway: 10.20.0.1

8. Click Apply.

   Fuel will now use eth1 as a network interface for the Admin (PXE) network.

9. In Menu, select PXE Setup.

10. Set the DHCP pool range and gateway.

11. Verify your configuration by clicking Check.

12. Proceed to Log in to the Fuel Master node.

Configure a network interface for the Fuel web UI¶

You can configure a specific network interface through which users will access the Fuel web UI.

To configure a network interface for the Fuel web UI:

1. In the Fuel Setup screen, select Network Setup.

2. Select an unassigned network interface.

3. Change Enable interface to Yes.

4. Enable DHCP.

5. Verify that the IP address, netmask, and gateway fields are empty.

6. Click Apply.

   Fuel now uses the selected interface for the Fuel web UI.

7. Proceed to Log in to the Fuel Master node.
