Switch to CLOUD SYNC Mode in VMware ESXi

To configure CLOUD SYNC mode for a scanner deployed in VMware ESXi, perform the following steps: 

1. Choose Change mode to get started.
   
   Do not click the Switch Mode Now button yet. You need to do this later, after configuring the networking settings of your Scanner VM.
   
2. Configure your VM’s network settings.

   To configure network settings in VMware ESXi, click Edit Settings for your Virtual Machine.
   

   Network Adapter 1 should be assigned an IP address that can reach the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform while the scanner is in CLOUD SYNC mode. 

   Network Adapter 2 is designated for scanner management and configuration. It provides access to the scanner’s UI via a web browser from another VM on the same subnet. 

3. Click OK. 

4. Now, your network is configured in CLOUD SYNC mode. Return to the Scanner WEB UI and click Switch Mode Now.
   

5. To complete the switch to CLOUD SYNC mode, click Continue.
