In this guide we’ll go over steps to configure IP, DNS and other settings on the EVE-NG:
Complete your EVE-NG installation. The first boot requires additional configuration.
After a while the console login prompt will be available: default is root/eve. By default EVE-NG Setup will offer DHCP IP setup.
DHCP IP setup
1. Type the hostname (default is eve-ng)
2. Type the domain name (default is example.com):
3. NTP server is optional and leave blank if not used (default is blank)
4. Insert the your root password twice: eve/eve as example
5. Apply settings. After the last confirm (Apply) EVE-NG will reboot. When VM/BareMetal Server is up and running, SSH can be used to manage it, not before.
Finally you should upgrade system and EVE to latest version:
apt update
apt upgrade
Static IP address setup. Recommended for bare metal server.
1. De-select DHCP option if management IP address should be static (use arrow keys and space key to select/de-select, then enter to confirm):
2. Static IP setup will ask IP address, netmask, default gateway, primary and secondary DNS servers.
3. NTP server is optional and leave blank if not used (default is blank)
4. Insert the your root password twice: eve/eve as example
5. Apply settings. After the last confirm (Apply) EVE-NG will reboot. When the VM/BareMetal Server is up and running, SSH can be used to manage it, not before.
