Allowing Access to a Host 

Using the bindHost property of the P4 Provider Service you can specify a list of hosts to which P4 connections can be established. The list consists of either the hostname or the IP address of the hosts in the cluster where a Java dispatcher is running.

This property is taken into account when opening server sockets.

In the Visual Administrator, you configure the bindHost property using the Properties screen of the P4 Provider Service running on the Java dispatcher.

By default, the value of the bindHost property is 0.0.0.0, which allows connections to be established to all hosts where the P4 Provider Service is running, regardless of whether the hosts are configured with a virtual or a stationary IP addresses. Using virtual IP addresses is a common case when running the Web AS cluster in high availability scenarios in a switchover environment.

If the value of the this property is an empty string, then connections to all available hosts using stationary IP addresses are allowed.

If you enumerate a list of hostnames or IP addresses as a value of the property, they must be separated by colon (“:”).
