NETWORK CONFIGURATION

Binding an NRPC port to an IP address
By default, all TCP/IP-based services on an IBM® Lotus® Domino™ server listen for network connections on all NICs and on all configured IP addresses on the server. If you have enabled more than one Notes network port for TCP/IP (TCP port for NRPC) on either a single Domino server or a Domino partitioned server, you must associate the NRPC ports and IP addresses by binding each port to an address.

For background information on Domino server setups with multiple IP addresses, see the topic Advanced Domino TCP/IP configurations.

To bind an NRPC port to an IP address

When setting the NOTES.INI variables for port mapping, do not include a zone in a port mapped address. The zone is only valid locally.

1. For each IP address, make sure you have added a Notes port for TCP/IP. Also make sure that each port has a unique name.

2. In the NOTES.INI file, confirm that these lines appear for each port that you added:


3. For each port that you want to bind to an IP address, add this line to the NOTES.INI file:
4. (Optional) To help you later remember the function of each port, add the default TCP port number for NRPC to the end of the line you entered in Step 3, as follows:
In a situation where you must change the default NRPC port number, see the topic Changing a TCP or SSL port number.
