By default, when a monitored node has several IP addresses, the agent uses them as follows:
-
The communication broker accepts incoming connections on all IP addresses.
-
The agent opens connections to the OMi gateway server using the first network interface that it finds.
-
The embedded performance component accepts incoming connections on all IP addresses.
Tasks
How to configure the Agent to always use a specific IP address
-
Configure the IP address that you want the communication broker to listen on for incoming connections:
ovconfchg -ns bbc.cb.ports ‑set SERVER_BIND_ADDR <IP address> -
Configure the IP address that you want the agent to use on the node end of connections to the server:
ovconfchg -ns bbc.http ‑set CLIENT_BIND_ADDR <IP address> -
Configure the IP address that you want the embedded performance component to listen on for incoming connections:
ovconfchg -ns coda.comm ‑set SERVER_BIND_ADDR <IP address>This can either be the same IP address as the
SERVER_BIND_ADDRparameter in thebbc.cb.portsname space, or you can set this value to localhost. If you set the value to localhost, the embedded performance component accepts incoming connections only through the communication broker. -
Restart the communication processes:
ovc -kill
ovc -start
