24.2. Configure Red Hat JBoss Data Grid Interface Binding (Remote Client-Server Mode)
24.2.1. Interfaces
Red Hat JBoss Data Grid allows users to specify an interface type rather than a specific (unknown) IP address.
link-local
: Uses a169.x.x.x
or254.x.x.x
address. This suits the traffic within one box.<interfaces> <interface name="link-local"> <link-local-address/> </interface> ... </interfaces>
site-local
: Uses a private IP address, for example192.168.x.x
. This prevents extra bandwidth charged from GoGrid, and similar providers.<interfaces> <interface name="site-local"> <site-local-address/> </interface> ... </interfaces>
global
: Picks a public IP address. This should be avoided for replication traffic.<interfaces> <interface name="global"> <any-address/> </interface> ... </interfaces>
non-loopback
: Uses the first address found on an active interface that is not a127.x.x.x
address.<interfaces> <interface name="non-loopback"> <not> <loopback /> </not> </interface> </interfaces>
