7 Restart Windows to activate the new settings.

NOTE

You can also open a command window and use the SET command from the command prompt to set the

EPICENTER_SERVER_ADDRESS environment variable.

In Solaris or Linux:

1 Open the

/etc/ridgeline30.profile file.

2 Locate the following line in the file:

EPICENTER_SERVER_ADDRESS=<ip_addr_to_bind_to>

3 Replace <ip_addr_to_bind_to> with the IP address to use for communication between the

Ridgeline server and the managed devices.

4 Open the

/etc/profile file.

5 Locate the following line in the file:

EPICENTER_SERVER_ADDRESS=<ip_addr_to_bind_to>

6 Replace <ip_addr_to_bind_to> with the IP address to use for communication between the Ridgeline

server and the managed devices.

7 Start the Ridgeline server to activate the environment variable setting. To do this, enter the following

command:

/etc/init.d/RidgelineServer30 start

You must have administrative rights to access init.d files.

Configuring a Multi-Homed Server with Separate Management

and Client Access Networks

If the multi-homed Ridgeline server will have one interface connected to a management network (that

is, a network with connections to the managed devices), and another interface on a network used for

Ridgeline client access, configure the Ridgeline server as follows:

1 Set the EPICENTER_SERVER_ADDRESS environment variable to 0.0.0.0, so that the system binds on

all interfaces. See “Setting the EPICENTER_SERVER_ADDRESS Environment Variable” on page 26

for information on how to set this variable.
