Setting up a separate IP address for SMTP communication on the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance

Optionally, if you want to separate mail traffic from management traffic, add a virtual Ethernet adapter to configure a separate IP address for SMTP communication.

Prerequisites

The Cyber Recovery virtual appliance is installed to a VMware ESXi host in the Cyber Recovery vault.

About this task

When you add a virtual Ethernet adapter, your configuration includes two IP addresses for:

DD communication
SMTP communication

Steps

Access the VMware vSphere Web Client.
Power off the Cyber Recovery virtual appliance virtual machine (VM).
Right-click the VM and select Edit Settings.
Expand the New device drop-down list.
Select Network and click Add.
Select the network type from the list and click Finish.
Power on the VM.
Log in as admin and run the su command to switch to root.
Use the YaST tool to configure the second virtual Ethernet adapter.
Restart the VM so that the changes take effect.

Next steps
