I installed the software on a multihomed server (with multiple network cards). What do I have to take care of?
Category:
Installation/Update
There are two aspects to look at:
- What network interface is used to scan the network?
We are using Java libraries that implement protocols such as SNMP, SSH, or Telnet. Some of them might use the “wrong” network interface. In this case, the requests do not reach the target device and thus might cause a poor discovery result.Use the Java property “com.jdisc.discovery.ip” in order to configure the correct network interface. Insert the following parameter into the registry for the value “CustomJVMParameters” within the registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JDisc\JDisc Discovery <x.y>\Inventory Service”:-Dcom.jdisc.discovery.ip=<ip address> - Which network interface is used to connect for the remote clients?
JDisc Discovery uses the RMI protocol internally to transfer information from the client to the server and vica versa.Add the following configuration to the “CustomJVMParameters” value within the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JDisc\JDisc Discovery <x.y>Inventory Service” registry key:-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=”<JDisc Discovery Client accessible IP Address>”
This feature is available starting with version 3.2 build 3220.
