AWS Storage Gateway User Guide
Performing Tasks on the VM Local
Console (Volume and Tape Gateways)
To
Do This
Configure a static IP address for your gateway Type option
3
.
You are prompted to type the following
information to configure a static IP:
• Network adapter name
• IP address
• Netmask
• Default gateway address
• Primary Domain Name Service (DNS) address
• Secondary DNS address
Important
If your gateway has already been
activated, you must shut it down and
restart it from the AWS Storage Gateway
console for the settings to take effect.
If your gateway uses more than one network
interface, you must set all enabled interfaces to
use DHCP or static IP addresses.
For example, suppose your gateway VM uses two
interfaces configured as DHCP. If you later set
one interface to a static IP, the other interface is
disabled. To enable the interface in this case, you
must set it to a static IP.
If both interfaces are initially set to use static IP
addresses and you then set the gateway to use
DHCP, both interfaces will use DHCP.
