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.
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.
