Working with Nx Witness > Configuring Multi-Server Environment (Admin Only) > Configuring Routing within Multi-Server Environment

Nx Witness provides built-in automatic routing mechanism that enables users to seamlessly work with the large sites as a single cluster. However there may be custom network configurations that may require custom routing settings. For instance, Servers may have several IP addresses (Public and Private) and it may be necessary to allow or restrict traffic flow for some of them.

Initially Nx Witness tries to discover all available IP addresses of servers (including Public ones). However it is not possible in some network environments.

To setup routing open Main Menu –> System Administration (CTRL+ALT+A) and go to Routing Management tab.

On the left all Servers are displayed. If click on Server all available interfaces are displayed in the right hand side.

•To add an address manually click "+" and add URL like http://<ip>:<port>:

•<ip> – the desired IP address of Server (i.e. Public IP)

•<port> – network port Server is listening on (default 7001).

•To allow/deny traffic to go through the specific network interface click In Use to set/release checkbox.

For instance, Server can have Public IP address and is connected to the Internet via 100 Mbit network and local NIC with local IP address (1Gbit). If it is not necessary to provide public access to this server it may be useful to restrict traffic flow through Public IP.
