Configuring the network settings in a deployment

About this task

Use this procedure to initially configure the network settings for a deployment.

noteNote

After you initially configure the network settings for a deployment, you can change the network information from the AE Services Management Console. For more information, see Administering and Maintaining Avaya Aura® Application Enablement Services. This configuration is initially needed for AE Services deployed through VSphere client only, and not for AE Services deployed through VCenter or SDM.
