Connecting to XenServer over a public interface

By default XenServer installed in IBM Cloud® is configured to use the private network interface for all management connections. If you have connection issues on the private network, open a support ticket.

Changing this configuration is a security risk and is not advised.

If you want to reconfigure XenServer to use the public interface, run the following commands as root from the host (host cannot not be pooled!).

1. xe pif-list

2. Make note of the uuid of the interface that you want to enable (most likely eth1 or bond1).

3. Run the following command:

    `xe host-management-reconfigure pif-uuid=`
   

These changes take place immediately and do not require a restart.
