SMTP binding on partitioned servers

hcl-bot · August 7, 2009, 12:37pm

Hi, I have a partitioned server with two partitions (the server has two nics) and I want that the traffic for partition A goes through nic1 (ip 210.15.15.17) and traffic for partition B goes through nic2 (ip 210.15.15.18). My question/doubt is refered to the SMTP listener on partition A, I have added the SMTPNotesPort=TCPIP (ip 210.15.15.17) in the notes.ini and for partition B SMTPNotesPort=TCPIP2 (ip 210.15.15.18) but when I do netstat -a the result is:

And here the smtp listener for partition B is correct but not for the partition A (just 0.0.0.0:25) something similar happend with the 1352 port for the same partition

There is no 210.15.15.17:25 and 10.15.15.17:1352 like I wish

Here I paste de lines in both notes.ini concerning to TCPIP

Partition A:

Ports=TCPIP

TCPIP=TCP, 0, 15, 0,12288,

TCPIP_TCPIPADDRESS=210.15.15.17:1352

TCPIP2=TCP,0,15,0,12288,

TCPIP2_TCPIPADDRESS=210.15.15.18

DisabledPorts=TCPIP2

SMTPNotesPort=TCPIP

Partition B:

Ports=TCPIP2

TCPIP=TCP,0,15,0,12288,

TCPIP_TCPIPAddress=0,210.15.15.17

TCPIP2=TCP,0,15,0,12288,

TCPIP2_TCPIPAddress=0,210.15.15.18

DisabledPorts=TCPIP

SMTPNotesPort=TCPIP2

Sorry if my explanation is confuse and sorry about my english.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Subject: Error in Notes.ini setting

The netstat display shows that one server is bound to an IP address and the other server is listening on the any address (0.0.0.0).

Looking at your notes.ini settings you can see that there is a syntax error as shown below. You left the zero out of the port_tcpipaddress setting for partition A.

Here I paste de lines in both notes.ini concerning to TCPIP

Partition A:

Ports=TCPIP

TCPIP=TCP, 0, 15, 0,12288,

TCPIP_TCPIPADDRESS=210.15.15.17:1352 should be TCPIP_TCPIPADDRESS=0,210.15.15.17:1352

TCPIP2=TCP,0,15,0,12288,

TCPIP2_TCPIPADDRESS=210.15.15.18

DisabledPorts=TCPIP2

SMTPNotesPort=TCPIP
