Setup Palo Alto Management IP using CLI

This document describes how to configure the Management Interface IP on a Palo Alto Networks device.

CLI Configuration Method of Palo Alto Networks firewall

1. Login to the device with admin/admin, unless you have already configured a new password.
2. Enter configuration mode:
   > configure
3.  Use the command below to set the interface to accept static IP
   #set deviceconfig system type static
4. Use the following command to set the IP address of the management interface:
   # set deviceconfig system ip-address <ip address> netmask <netmask> default-gateway <default gateway> dns-setting servers primary <DNS ip address>
5. Commit the changes:
   # commit

6. Use "exit" to exit the configuration mode after commit is complete.

Web GUI Configuration Method of Palo Alto Networks firewall

Please use HTTPS://<ip address> in order to gain access to the WebGUI. Default IP is 192.168.1.1.

1. Navigate to Device > Setup > Management, Click on the setup icon on the right hand corner and configure the Management Interface IP.
   
2. Navigate to Device > Setup > Services, Click edit and add a DNS server.
   

• Click OK and click on the commit button in the upper right to commit the changes.

  Important: If you change the management IP address, and commit, you will never see the commit complete, as the IP address will take effect at 99% and you will be disconnected. You will have to manually change the IP to the new management IP address in order to continue use of the WebGUI.
