Configuring the infrastructure to use a new IP address or hostname

Before you begin

Note:

Applies to:

  • Forcepoint Web Security and Forcepoint URL Filtering, v8.5.x
  • Forcepoint DLP, v8.5.1, v8.6.x, v8.7.x, v8.8.x. v8.9.x
  • Forcepoint Email Security, v8.5.x
  • Forcepoint appliances, v8.5.x

If the IP address or hostname of the Forcepoint management server changes, update the Forcepoint management infrastructure configuration to reflect the change.

Steps

  1. Launch the Forcepoint Security Installer.
    • If installer files were preserved after the initial installation, use the Forcepoint Security Setup link in the Start > Forcepoint menu or on the Start screen to launch the installer.
    • If installer files were not preserved, double-click the installer executable.
  2. In the installer, click the Modify link next to Forcepoint Management Infrastructure.
  3. Accept the defaults in the installer screens and click Next, until you reach the Server & Credentials screen. On that screen:
    • If the management server IP address changed, select the new address from the IP address drop-down list.
    • If the management server hostname changed, make sure the correct information appears in the Server or domain field.
  4. Proceed through the remaining installer screens, accepting defaults, and click Finish.
