24.2. Configure Red Hat JBoss Data Grid Interface Binding (Remote Client-Server Mode)

24.2.1. Interfaces
Copy link

Red Hat JBoss Data Grid allows users to specify an interface type rather than a specific (unknown) IP address.
  • link-local: Uses a 169.x.x.x or 254.x.x.x address. This suits the traffic within one box. 
    <interfaces>
    <interface name="link-local">
        <link-local-address/>
    </interface>
    ...
</interfaces>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • site-local: Uses a private IP address, for example 192.168.x.x. This prevents extra bandwidth charged from GoGrid, and similar providers. 
    <interfaces>
    <interface name="site-local">
        <site-local-address/>
    </interface>
    ...
</interfaces>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • global: Picks a public IP address. This should be avoided for replication traffic. 
    <interfaces>
    <interface name="global">
        <any-address/>
    </interface>
    ...
</interfaces>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • non-loopback: Uses the first address found on an active interface that is not a 127.x.x.x address. 
    <interfaces>
    <interface name="non-loopback">
        <not>
	    <loopback />
	</not>
    </interface>
</interfaces>
