Determine which TCP/IP addresses are already defined on
your system and decide which address you will use for your IBM® Sametime® server. You will
also need to determine whether you need to define additional TCP/IP
addresses to avoid conflicts between servers.
About this task
Follow these steps to select a TCP/IP address for the server.
Procedure
- First determine which TCP/IP addresses are currently defined
for your system.
- From any IBM i
command line, type the following command and press Enter:
CFGTCP
- On the Configure TCP/IP display, select option
1 to Work with TCP/IP interfaces and display a list of the currently
defined TCP/IP interfaces.
- Verify that each of the TCP/IP addresses you recorded when
you looked at the Host Table or ran the 'sh port tcpip' command is
currently defined.
- Verify that the system has enough TCP/IP addresses defined
so that you can assign at least one for the exclusive use of each
of the following:
- Your Sametime server
- Each existing Domino® server
- Each instance of the IBM HTTP
server running on your system
- Contact your network administrator to assign additional
TCP/IP addresses and host names if needed.
- Ensure that the new host names are also added to your Domain
Name Server (DNS).
- Select the TCP/IP address you will assign to your Sametime server.
- Decide which TCP/IP addresses should be assigned to each
existing Domino server
and each instance of the IBM HTTP
server.
Record this information,
as you will use it later to ensure that existing servers are properly
bound to specific IP addresses so that their port usage does not conflict
with your Sametime server.
