Specifying Network Interface for Outgoing Connections: Option -I

If a computer has multiple network interfaces, you can specify which interface is used to establish external connections. This can be useful for instance for firewalls between two networks. For instance, you can specify that the connection is opened only in specific networks. The specified address must be a local interface.

Start SAProuter with the following option to specify a network interface:

• Windows/UNIX: saprouter -r -I <address>
• IBM i: IBM i:call saprouter ( '-r' '-I' '<address>')
