Revision as of 09:43, 24 January 2011

This article explains how to modify the management network interface of TMG800, TMG3200, TMG7800-CTRL (MGMT0) and the controls ports of the TMG7800-CTRL (ETH0, ETH1).


To avoid modification of the configuration files using 'vim' or 'nano', which is not very user friendly.

TelcoBridges created a shell script that simplifies the network configuration of the TMG.

The MGMT0 (for TMG800, TMG3200, TMG7800-CTRL) and ETH0, ETH1 (for TMG7800-CTRL) ports are configured in dhcp by default.

The script will allow you to modify:

  • Change IP address of the MGMT0, ETH0 and ETH1 ports
  • Change default network interface and/or IP address
  • Change DNS

Change static to dhcp

This example changes the IP address from static to DHCP IP with DNS server (1 domain and 2 nameservers)

  • Steps to modify mgmt0 from static to dhcp:
Do you want to modify the network settings (enter 'help' for usage) ?[No]                   --> yes
Do you want to modify mgmt0 ?[No]                                                           --> yes
Select network mode (dhcp or static) ?[static]                                              --> dhcp
Select a dhcp name ?[TB006201]                                                              --> TB006201
  • Steps to modify the default gateway address (you should let the DHCP server give you the gateway address)
Would you like to modify the default gateway address ?[No]                                  --> yes
Which network interface do you want to set as default gateway address interface (mgmt0/mgmt1) --> mgmt0
Select the host dhcp name ?[TB006201]                                                       --> TB006201
  • Steps to configure the DNS (this example will setup 1 search domain and 2 nameservers)
Would you like to modify the DNS configuration ?[No]                                        --> yes
Would you like to reconfigure the DNS (enter 'remove' to erase dns) ?[No]                   --> yes
