For this step, you must log in with an identity that has a role with permissions Communication:Network Settings. You can use the default Administrator role and Admin identities.
Choose one of the following methods to configure the network:

​
Excrypt Manager

To use Excrypt Manager to configure the network, go to the Configuration menu and modify the IP address configuration as needed.

​
FXCLI

To use FXCLI to configure the network, run the network interface modify FXCLI command to set an IP address for the HSM. The following example shows the command syntax:
FXCLI
  network interface modify --interface Ethernet1 -–ip 10.221.0.10 -–netmask 255.255.255.0 –-gateway 10.221.0.1
At this point during the HSM configuration, consider the following:
  • Except for the final section, which covers creating connection certificates for mutual authentication, you can complete the remaining HSM configurations in this section by using the Guardian Series 3 (see the applicable guide for configuring HSMs for PKCS #11 integrations using the Guardian Series 3).
  • If you are performing the configuration on the HSM directly but plan to add it to a Guardian later, you might have to synchronize the HSM after you add it to a device group on the Guardian.
  • If your use case requires configuration through a CLI, then you should manage the HSMs directly.
