Network Interface Configuration in BixAgent and BixServer

BixAgent or BixServer can be configured to use a different port or only listen on specific IP addresses.

To use a different port, change the connect-default/client or connect-default/server port numbers. This will change the default port for all auto detected network interfaces. The default for BixData is to listen on all interfaces.

To only bind to a specific interface and specific port, use the bind/listener/ipadress and bind/listener/port sections.

Note that at this time all agents and servers should be configured to use the same default ports.

Create or edit the file data/config-network.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<config>
  <network>
    <connect-default>
      <client>17070</client>
      <server>7071</server>
    </connect-default>
    <bind>
      <default-port>17071</default-port>
      <listener>
        <ipaddress>192.168.1.101</ipaddress>
        <port>17070</port>
    </listener>
    </bind>
  </network>
</config>
