Summary

When you change the old gateway IP address in the WFBS console (Preferences > Global Settings >Location Awareness), the gateway of the previous address reappears.

Details

To prevent the gateway of the previous address from being desplayed:

Stop the Master Service.
Open the ofcscan.ini file using a text editor such as Notepad:
- Under LOCATION_AWARENESS_INI_SECTION, look for the following parameters and set its value using the new Gateway IP address:
  LocationAwarenessProfile_IP0000=<new gateway ip>
  LocationProfileGatewayIP000=<new gateway ip>
- Under LOCATION_AWARENESS_SERVER_SECTION, look for the "LocationAwarenessProfile_MAC0000" parameter and set its value using the new Gateway IP address:
  LocationAwarenessProfile_IP0000=<new gateway ip>
Save the changes and close the file.
Restart the Security Server Master Service.
Log in to the console to verify if the gateway IP has been changed.
