Server Properties

Table 5.1 lists the DSView server properties.

Table 5.1: Server Properties

Property Description

Identity Name of the DSView server and the server’s role (hub or spoke).

Network

IP address (*) and port used by clients to access the server using the HTTPS (SSL) protocol.

You may change the port number used for the HTTPS connection.

NOTE: When the DSView server is running on a Linux system, the IP address field may con-

tain the loopback address. If this is not desired, edit the /etc/hosts file on the Linux system.

Add a new line above the line that defines the loopback address. The new line should con-

tain the IP address, followed by the host name. For example, the following new line adds the

IP address 172.30.20.206 for the host name sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com, above the existing

line that defines the loopback address (127.0.0.1).

- 172.30.20.206 sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com

- 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain sun-jcv-fc3.avocent.com localhost sun-jcv-fc3
