NIC/Network Adaptor Configuration

The Grid discovery used to find session queues by default uses the first found non-loopback address, for example a machine with Ethernet adaptors "eth0" and "eth1" and Local Loopback "lo" will likely use "eth0".

Note: If you do not need to override the adaptor default behaviour, then the following properties do not need to be included.

ClosedConfigure NIC/Network Adaptor (Wildfly)

The following properties must be included in the settings.properties file:

grid.local.address=[NIC Address]

grid.discovery.tcp.port=[default: 51300]

grid.communication.tcp.port=[default: 51401]

Where:

  • grid.local.address - specifies the IP address of the network adaptor used for grid communication.

  • grid.communication.tcp.port and grid.discovery.tcp.port - allows environments to specify known ports (for example, when using a firewall).

    Note: The communication port must be a minimum of 100 greater than the discovery port, in order to avoid conflict.

ClosedConfigure NIC/Network Adaptor (WebLogic)

Within the WebLogic Server Administration Console, include the following in the Server Start Arguments:

-Dgrid.local.address=[NIC Address]

-Dgrid.discovery.tcp.port=[default: 51300]

-Dgrid.communication.tcp.port=[default: 51401]

Where:

  • Dgrid.local.address - specifies the IP address of the network adaptor used for grid communication.

  • Dgrid.communication.tcp.port and Dgrid.discovery.tcp.port - allows environments to specify known ports (for example, when using a firewall).

    Note: The communication port must be a minimum of 100 greater than the discovery port, in order to avoid conflict.
