Change PRTG core server IP address
- Log in via RDP to your PRTG core server.
- Stop the PRTG Administrator.
- Shut down services of PRTG (maintenance).
- Bind another interface to the server with the new IP address.
- Add this address to the options on the Web Server tab.
- Set the "mark" to the new IP and start the PRTG core server with both addresses -> The IP with the mark is the "collector IP".
- Once you start the server with both addresses, the new IP is known to the probes.
- In the next maintenance, you can delete the old IP address.
