IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5 Release Notes Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration
Step 2 - Add a new IP address to the Sametime server machine .
To add a new IP address to the Sametime server, you can either install an additional Network
Interface Card (NIC) in the Sametime server machine or assign multiple IP addresses to a
single NIC.
To assign multiple IP addresses to a single NIC on a Windows machine:
1.
Open the Windows Control Panel.
2.
Click the Protocols tab.
3.
Select TCP/IP Protocols-Properties-Specify an IP Address.
4.
Click the Advanced tab.
5.
Use the Advanced IP Addressing screen to assign multiple IP addresses to a single NIC.
Step 3 - Set up your DNS server to map the IP address to a DNS name for Sametime Community
Services.
After you have added a new IP address to the Sametime server, set up your DNS server to map the new
IP address to a DNS name for the Sametime server Community Services.
For the Community Services, map the IP address to the DNS name "community-xxx.xxx.xxx" (where
xxx.xxx.xxx is the DNS name that was bound to the Sametime HTTP server in step 1 above).
For example, you would map the new IP address to the DNS name "community-www.sametime1.com."
Step 4 - Configure the HTTPS-tunneling settings in the Sametime Administration Tool
You must specify the new DNS name and port number for Community Services HTTPS connections in
the Sametime Administration Tool.
1.
Open the Sametime Administration Tool and select Configuration-Connectivity-Networks and Ports.
2.
In the Community Services Network-Address for HTTPS-tunneled connections settings, specify the
following:
Host name: community-xxx.xxx.xxx (Where xxx.xxx.xxx is the DNS name that was bound to the
Sametime HTTP server. For example, community-www.sametime1.com.)
Port number: 443
With this configuration, the Sametime Community Services multiplexer will listen for HTTPS-tunneled
connections on host name community-www.sametime1.com on port 443.
