Hi Isaiah,

 

Thanks for the information. This gives me a better picture of where you are at in setting up LineRate.

 

Regarding your request for a prerequisite list for a VM to communicate externally to facilitate licensing:

 

  1. VM configured with at least one network interface that is NAT or bridge type and on a subnet that has a route to the internet
  2. Port 443 open to communicate to the licensing server that is on the internet
  3. Choose the interface in point 1 above on LineRate as the management interface for configuration. Please refer to the following manual page for details. https://docs.lineratesystems.com/087Release_2.6.1/100Getting_Started_Guide/200Configuring_Management_Access

All this relies on how the interfaces on the VM are configured i.e. NAT, Bridged etc. You may need to understand that first.

 

Let us know how you go.

 

Regards

 

Madhu
