Configuring 5620 SAM Server to utilize multiple network
interfaces
Configuring 5620 SAM Server to utilize multiple network interfaces
The configuration of the 5620 SAM Server application to use multiple interfaces is done
at installation time. At that time, the installation utility prompts the user to enter the IP
addresses of the various network interfaces that are to be used within the 5620 SAM
network management complex.
Use of hostnames for the 5620 SAM Client
Use of hostnames for the 5620 SAM Client
There are a number of situations where it is necessary for the 5620 SAM Client to be
configured to use a hostname rather than a fixed IP address to reach the 5620 SAM
Server.
For situations where the 5620 SAM Server’s public address is exposed to multiple
networks with different IP addresses, a hostname can be used instead of a fixed IP
address. This is most useful when NAT is used between 5620 SAM clients and the 5620
SAM Server that can be accessed via multiple networks.
For situations where the 5620 SAM Client and the 5620 SAM Auxiliary are using
different network interfaces to the 5620 SAM Server, the 5620 SAM Client must use a
hostname to reach the 5620 SAM Server.
In both cases, a hostname can be used by configuring DNS, or by configuring the local
host file to ensure that the hostname can be translated to an IP address.
The 5620 SAM Server must be installed using the Hostnames for Communications option
for this scenario.
