28.4 Binding the GWIA to a Specific IP Address

By default, the GWIA binds to all IP addresses when the server where it runs uses multiple IP addresses. The each IP address is associated with all ports used by the agent.

To use an exclusive bind to a one specific IP address:

  1. In the GroupWise Admin console, browse to and click the GWIA.

  2. Click Agent Settings and locate the Network Address section.

  3. Select Bind Exclusively to TCP/IP Address.

  4. Click Save, then click Close to return to the main Admin console window.

You can use the /ip startup switch in the GWIA startup file to establish an exclusive bind to the specified IP address. If you have used this switch in the GWIA startup file, remove it to turn off the exclusive bind.
