IP Binding category

IP Binding specifies the

IP addresses

that HP SMH accepts requests from and controls the nets and

subnets that requests are processed.

Administrators can configure HP SMH to only bind to addresses specified in the IP Binding window.
Five subnet IP addresses and netmasks can be defined.

An IP address on the server is bound if it matches one of the entered IP Binding addresses after
the mask is applied.

HP SMH on Windows and Linux supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

For example, If the subnet IP address is 172.24.37.88 and netmask is 255.255.255.0, it means
requests are considered from all IP addresses 172.24.37.x (where, x is any value from 1-255).

Similarly, for other netmask values, 255.255.0.0 and 255.0.0.0 IP addresses get bound
accordingly. Applying 255.255.255.255 netmask results in binding only a single IP address.

NOTE:

HP SMH always binds to 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding is enabled and no subnet/mask pairs

are configured, HP SMH is only available to 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding is not enabled, you bind to
all addresses.
