Network Interfaces can be added to a Nirvana Realm using
the nAdmin API or by using
the Nirvana Realm Manager.
To add an interface using the Enterprise Manager GUI
follow the steps below:
Step 1: Click on the interfaces panel
for a Realm. In the example below an interface is being
added to the nirvana1 Realm. An interface could also
be added however to any other Realm within the enterprise
manager. This ability makes centralised remote administration
very easy using Nirvana.
Step 2: Click on the Add button in
order to bring up the Add Interface dialog box. In
the dialog choose the network
protocol you would like to use for this interface.
The choices are Sockets, HTTP, Secure Sockets and HTTPS.
In this example HTTP is chosen as the protocol and
the interface is added to the network adapter node249.my-Channels.com.
This will run the network interface on the IP Address
that is specified. You can specify any network interface
on the machine, or 127.0.0.1 for localhost or 0.0.0.0
for all network interfaces on this machine.
Step 3: When a new interface is added
if the Auto Start option is not clicked the realm interface
will not start automatically when a realm starts, and
it will have to be started manually.
After the interface has been added you should see the
following in your interfaces panel:
In this example you can see that this Realm now has
2 network interfaces and that the one just added has
been started automatically.
If you did not choose to start the interface automatically,
then in order to start the interface you need to click
on the line containing the stopped trafficlight. This
will populate the tabs at the bottom with details for
this interface.
Select the 'Basic' tab and click on the autostart interface
checkbox. Then click on apply and the Interface will
be started. Clicking on this box means that the interface
will be started automatically when the Nirvana Realm
server is started. It will also start it now.
Alternatively if you do not wish to autostart then
double click on the line with the stopped trafficlight.
This will bring up a dialog which allows you to start
that network interface.
If the network interface fails to start then please
inspect the Nirvana log file via the messages tab. Please
contact support@my-Channels.com if any other issues
arise.
Similarly, if you wish to stop an interface, simply
double-click on the interface you want to stop from
the interface table, and click on the 'stop' button.
The dialog below shows you what this looks like.
There is no limit to the number of network interfaces
that can be added to a Realm and each can have its own
configuration such SSL chains etc applied. This allows
you to isolate customers from each other while still
using only one Nirvana Realm server.
