Click OK and click on the commit button in the upper right to commit the changes.
Note: When changing the management IP address and committing, you will never see the commit operation complete. This is because the new management IP address will take effect at 99% resulting in a disconnected GUI session. You will have to manually change the URL address to the new management IP to continue using the WebGUI.
