9.4.0

To enable and use the Dedicated Management interface on BlueCat DNS and DHCP Server for AWS virtual appliances, you must have two interfaces (Service and Management) already configured on your instance.

BlueCat DNS and DHCP Server for AWS virtual appliances already in production must be removed from Address Manager control before enabling Dedicated Management.

To remove BlueCat DNS and DHCP Server for AWS virtual appliances from Address Manager control:
  1. From the Address Manager user interface, disable the server: Servers > server-name > Disable.
  2. From the BlueCat DNS and DHCP Server for AWS Administration Console, remove the server from Address Manager control:
    Adonis> configure system
Adonis:configure:system>set state no-proteus-control

To enable Dedicated Management:

Note: Enabling Dedicated Management creates a static route using the IP address of the SSH client which is required to connect to the management interface.
  1. Connect to your instance as the admin user via an SSH connection to the Service interface. 
    ssh -i <key_pair_file_name> admin@<service_interface_ip>
  2. From Main Session mode, run the following commands to enable Dedicated Management: 
    Adonis> configure interfaces
Adonis:configure:interfaces> set dedicated-management enable
    CAUTION:
    Enabling Dedicated Management will disconnect your SSH connectivity to the Service interface. Once you enable Dedicated Management, you must re-establish the SSH connection to the Management interface.

If you removed your BlueCat DNS and DHCP Server for AWS virtual appliances from Address Manager control prior to enabling Dedicated Management, replace the server in Address Manager to resume control and management of the appliance (Servers > server-name > Replace).
