After SAKA has been operational, the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) address of the appliance's primary interface and/or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the appliance may require changing. This chapter walks through the process of how to do this.

If the SAKA appliance is already in production, this activity will have to be coordinated with the application(s) that request cryptographic web services from the appliance, as well as the Domain Name Service (DNS) that provides name and address resolution within the network. If the appliance is not providing services to any application yet—either in production or development—perform this task anytime, as it will not affect any applications. However, the need to coordinate with the DNS configuration still exists, as the application itself may be relying upon name services from DNS for its own network configuration.
