How to Add a Host in ArmorPlane
Adding a host in ArmorPlane is a straightforward process that involves entering some key details about the target server. Whether you’re managing a Windows or Linux environment, the steps remain simple and efficient. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of adding a host to ArmorPlane, ensuring seamless connectivity and configuration.
Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a Host
To get started, follow these steps:
- Go to Manage Hosts
First, navigate to the “Manage Host” section in your ArmorPlane dashboard. From there, click on Add Host. A pop-up window will appear where you’ll enter the host details. - Enter Hostname
In the first field, provide a hostname for your new host. You can name it whatever you prefer, making it easier for you to identify within the ArmorPlane platform. - Specify the IP Address or Domain Name
Next, you’ll need to choose between entering an IP address or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the host. Select the appropriate option, and input the required details. - Enter the Port Number
Provide the port number through which you can connect to the host. This will depend on the connection type (for example, SSH or RDP). Ensure that the port number matches your connection configuration for smooth communication. - Select the Operating System (OS)
Choose the OS type (Windows or Linux) from the drop-down menu. This step ensures that ArmorPlane configures the connection according to the specific OS of your target server. - Input Credentials
Choose the correct credentials for the host. If you haven’t added credentials yet, refer to the credential addition guide in the ArmorPlane documentation for instructions on setting them up. - Enable Jump Host (If Required)
If the target host is located behind a private network, it might only be accessible via a jump host. In such cases, enable the jump host option, and select the relevant jump host from the drop-down menu. For instructions on adding jump hosts, refer to the corresponding guide in the documentation.
