Control IP Address Binding

You can control IP address bindings in Exalead CloudView to restrict network access. An environment variable NGBINDTARGET in ngstart.env allows you to control the IP binding.

You can allow:

  • all: bind on * allowing all hosts to communicate

  • hostname: bind on the host's hostname specified in config - defaults to V4 binding

  • localhost: bind on 127.0.0.1 allowing only localhost communication, which is incompatible with multihost deployment

  • ip6-localhost: bind on ::1

  • bind on a valid host specification (which must be a hostname, IPv4, or IPv6) which restricts communication locally or with this host. If the address is not bindable, it is considered as a product fatal error.
