Configuring the application to use dual network cards
Issues with Client-to-Server connectivity can be due to different reasons. Some examples are:
• The computer running the Server has more than one network interface card (NIC) installed.
• The computer running the Server is behind a firewall that performs network address
translation.
To make sure that Clients can connect to the Server, you may need to edit the IP configuration
setting in the Options dialog to manually specify the IP address that the Server should use to
communicate to its Clients.
NOTE
The server binds using IPv6 address by default if your Operating System is IPv6-enabled (dual mode
or IPv6 only). The server binds using IPv4 address by default if your Operating System is
IPv4-enabled. Servers running in dual mode allow the client to communicate from both IPv6 and
IPv4 addresses.
To configure the IP address to override the default RMI server host IP address, complete the
following steps.
NOTE
This configuration option replaces the -Djava.rmi.server.hostname value used in previous releases.
1. Select Server > Options.
The Options dialog box displays.
2. Select IP Configuration in the Category list to set the IP address.
3. Choose one of the following options in the Server IP Configuration list.
• Select All. Go to step 4.
• Select a specific IP address. Continue with step 5.
• Select localhost. Continue with step 5.
When Server IP Configuration is set to All, you can select any available IP address as the
Return Address. If you select a specific IP address, the Return Address field shows the same IP
address and you cannot change it.
4. Select the return IP address in the Client - Server IP Configuration Return Address list.
5. Click Apply or OK to save your work.
NOTE
Changes take effect after you restart the Management Server.
6. Click OK on the “changes take effect after “application restart” message.
