# Change Management Server and Log Server IP addresses

You can change the IP addresses of the Management Server and Log Server without losing management connectivity. The steps to change the Management Server’s IP address depend on whether the Management Server and Log Server are on separate or on the same appliance.

When you change IP addresses, other connections between the different components might be temporarily lost. Make sure that the connections return to normal after the IP address changes.

Before changing the IP address, we recommend making a backup of the Management Server and Log Server.
