RE: TCP Preferred Interface (was Native Domino - to LPAR or not to LPAR, that is the question.)

Rob,

Sorry for the delay in replying, and for confusing you on the TCP Interface/Preferred Interface.

The Preferred Interface is set up when you create a TCP Route.
For example, this ensures all traffic out to the Internet shows as coming from 10.9.9.11 regardless of the several other interfaces created on the system:

Display TCP/IP Route

Route destination . . . . . . . . . . : *DFTROUTE
Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *NONE
Type of service . . . . . . . . . . . : *NORMAL
Next hop . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.9.9.254
Preferred binding interface . . . . . : 10.9.9.11
Maximum transmission unit . . . . . . : *IFC
Duplicate route priority . . . . . . . : 5
Route metric . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 1
Route redistribution . . . . . . . . . : *NO

Rob,

Doesn't putting the Preferred Interface in the TCP
Interface when you
create it solve that problem? (You can't go back and
change it to add
Preferred Interface, you have to delete and recreate the
interface).

One other issue with Domino on the same lpar...
If your network people are nuts about locking stuff

down

and you've
created a separate tcp interface for each domino

server and

one for i;
your client sessions emanating from the i may bind to

one

of the domino ip
addresses, and drive the network people bonkers. For
example
10.10.1.5 may be an address for domino server A
10.10.1.6 may be the address for normal i stuff
Now, on the i I initiate a FTP client session to a

barcode

printer
somewhere. Network people lock it down so that only
10.10.1.6 may talk to
the barcode printer. However, my ftp session comes

from

10.10.1.5
because when I type in FTP I can't tell it which
interface to use so it
grabs the first one. Hint: No guarantees, but make

your i

interface the
lowest one.
Been a recent discussion on this on the Domino list I

need

to look at...
