Info

The hostname of the virtual machine is flexdeploy, however, some network configurations do not allow access using a hostname. If you are unable to connect to FlexDeploy, try using the IP address of the host machine in place of [host] in the examples above.

Expand
titleClick here to show info about finding your IP address...

  • If the host machine is running Linux run this command:

    Code Block
    ifconfig | grep -Eo 'inet (addr:)?([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*' | grep -Eo '([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*' | grep -v '127.0.0.1'


  • For Windows, run this:

    Code Block
    ipconfig | find "IPv4 Address"


  • You should see one or more IP addresses printed off, one of these will be the address to connect to.

Please note that you will be unable to connect to the virtual machine from the host machine using an IP address or hostname, to connect from the host machine, replace [host] with localhost.
