Overview

IPF CLI Config automatically starts during the initial boot of the IP Fabric appliance and must be completed to proceed with the appliance’s deployment.

It introduces the configuration of basic network parameters, including:

  • IP Fabric’s IP address and subnet
  • DNS servers
  • proxy server

Proxy Server Settings

If the proxy server wasn’t configured through ipf-cli-config, please don’t forget to add the following line to the /etc/environment file:

no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,127.0.1.1,::1"

This is usually a cause of failed upgrade process as wget and curl commands are used in the backround to check connectivity with IP Fabric API and they attempt to reach localhost through the proxy server.

If some initial parameters need to be modified after completing the deployment, you may re-run IPF CLI Config with the following command (with one or more options) as osadmin:

sudo ipf-cli-config
