After updating the Actor's networking, we recommend verifying the changes and then updating the Actor's information in the Director.
- Log into the Actor from the command line.
Confirm the IP settings have been changed.
ifconfig
Launch the Director.
- Select Environment > Actors.
- Locate the Actor you updated, open its Action menu, and click Edit.
- Click Refresh Actor Info.
Within the Director, you can review and refresh the Actor's network settings. Depending on the Actor, you may also be able to directly update information. This includes
- Interfaces
- Routing
- Communication with Actors
- Supported Capabilities
NOTE: The configuration changes you can make to the Actor's Networking in the Director are dependent on the form-factor used to install the Actor and if the Validation Platform is managing the Network information.
If you make changes to an Actor's network information using the Director, we recommend updating its Can Talk to Actors and Supported Capabilities settings.
Actor Networking configuration and capabilities
NOTE: If your network changes after installing your Actor or you want to change how the Actor's networking is managed, you can update the Actor's networking using the vsetnet command. For full details on how to run the vsetnet command, see the appropriate Actor install guide.
