Configure multihomed nodes

By default, when a node has several IP addresses, the agent uses them as follows:

You can configure the HTTPS agent to always use a specific IP address. You do this by configuring the parameters in the following table using ovconfchg or ovconfpar at a command prompt:

Namespace Parameter Value
bbc.cb SERVER_BIND_ADDR The IP address that you want the communication broker to listen on for incoming connections.
bbc.http CLIENT_BIND_ADDR The IP address that you want the agent use on the node end of connections to the management server.
coda.comm SERVER_BIND_ADDR The IP address that you want the embedded performance component to listen on for incoming connections. This can either be the same IP address as the SERVER_BIND_ADDR parameter in the bbc.cb namespace, or you can set this value to localhost. If you set the value to localhost, the embedded performance component to accepts incoming connections only through the communication broker.

You can configure the DCE agent to always use a specific IP address by setting the OPC_IP_ADDRESS parameter in a node info policy, which you then deploy to the node.
