You can configure LiveWire Virtual network settings by using the ‘omni-interface’ command script from the ‘root’ user command prompt (root@LiveWire). To get to the ‘root’ user command prompt, enter the follow- ing command from the command prompt and enter ‘admin’ as the password when prompted:
#sudo su
Here are the commands to configure the network settings from the command prompt:
Usage: omni-interface [options]
options:
| -a, --adapter | adapter to modify |
| -f, --wifi | enable or disable Remote AP Capture capability [on|off] |
| -c, --dhcp | configure dhcp |
| -s, --static | configure static |
| -l, --manual | configure manual |
| -r, --address | static adapter address |
| -m, --netmask | static adapter netmask |
| -b, --broadcast | static adapter broadcast address |
| -w, --network | static adapter network address |
| -g, --gateway | static adapter gateway address |
| -h, --hwaddress | static adapter mac address |
| -d, --dns | static dns servers (comma separated) |
Important: The Ethernet ports can be configured to obtain an
IP address automatically from a DHCP server by specifying ‘dhcp’ instead of ‘static’ settings;
however, we strongly recommend the use of static IP addresses for the Ethernet ports. If DHCP
is used, and if the address should change on a new DHCP lease, then the user must restart the
Capture Engine service to see the new IP addresses in the ‘Adapters’ capture options in
Omnipeek.
Additionally, if you specify ‘dhcp’ instead of ‘static’ settings, and there is no DHCP server available, you must allow the command to time-out.
