Connect a Command appliance to Discover appliances
You can manage multiple Discover appliances from a Command appliance. After you connect the appliances, you can view and edit the appliance properties, assign a nickname, upgrade firmware, check the license status, create a diagnostic support package, and connect to the ExtraHop Web UI, Admin UI, and Web Shell.
The Command appliance connects directly to the Discover appliance over HTTPS on port 443. If it is not possible to establish a direct connection because of firewall restrictions in your network environment, you can connect to the Command appliance through a tunneled connection from the Discover appliance.
Before you begin
- You can only establish a connection to a Discover appliance that is licensed for the same system edition as the Command appliance (such as Reveal(x)).
- We strongly recommend that you configure a unique hostname for each Discover appliance. If the IP address on the Discover appliance is changed, the Command appliance can re-establish connection easily to the Discover appliance by hostname.
Generate a token on the Discover appliance
- Log in to the Administration page on the Discover appliance through https://<extrahop-hostname-or-IP-address>/admin.
- In the ExtraHop Command Settings section, click Generate Token.
- Click Generate Token.
- Copy the token and continue to the next procedure.
