The Grid discovery used to find engines 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.
Configure NIC/Network Adaptor
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.
