If your environment includes nodes connected to more than one network (for example: a production network, backup network and the internet) then you must configure the software after installation to:

  • Use one or more of those networks in preferential order depending on availability.
  • Prevent (bar) the use of certain networks.
  • Connect to remote nodes over the internet by defining an external IP addresses where those nodes may be contacted.

The following procedure must be performed on every node connected to the network in question:

  1. Open a command prompt as administrator.
  2. Change directory to the <Ops Center Protector install>\bin folder.
  3. Stop the services by entering the command diagdata --stop hub.
  4. Check the current node configuration by entering the command setconfig –l
    Refer to "Changing a node's profile with setconfig."
  5. To configure a preferred IP address for the node, enter the command setconfig –p nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address for the node on the preferred network.
    Additional addresses may be added by listing them in order of preference separated by semicolons. Multiple addresses may need to be quoted depending on the operating system.
  6. To configure a barred IP address for the node, enter the command setconfig –b nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address for the node on the barred network.
    Additional addresses may be added by listing them in order of preference separated by semicolons. Multiple addresses may need to be quoted depending on the operating system.
  7. To configure an external (internet) IP address for the node, enter the command setconfig –x nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address for the node on the internet.
    Additional addresses may be added by listing them in order of preference separated by semicolons. Multiple addresses may need to be quoted depending on the operating system.
  8. If you must remove an address then enter the command setconfig –r nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address.
    Additional addresses may be added by listing them in order of preference separated by semicolons. Multiple addresses may need to be quoted depending on the operating system.
    Note: The address(es) are removed from the preferred, barred and fixed list.
  9. Review the new node configuration by re-entering the command setconfig –l
  10. Restart the services by entering the command hub start.
  11. Wait a few minutes, then reauthorise the node on the Master (See "How to authorize a node.")
