Adding external IP addresses manually

Adding a Lighthouse instance’s external IP address or addresses manually to a Lighthouse instance’s configuration is an optional step. In general, these should not be changed expect by a network support engineer. For more information on the network ports used by Lighthouse, see this link on the network architecture.

Note:IP addresses can be IPv4, IPv6 or DNS names.

To add a single external address:

  1. Select SETTINGS > SYSTEM > Administration.

  1. In the Address field of the External Network Addresses section, enter an IP address or DNS name.

  1. Change the API Port, VPN Port, or Multi-Instance VPN Port if the ports used on the entered IP address are different from the default settings.

  1. Click Apply.

To add further external addresses to a Lighthouse instance’s configuration:

  1. Click the + button. A second row displays in the External Network Addresses section.

  1. In the Address field, enter an IP address.

  2. Change the API Port, VPN Port, or Multi-Instance VPN Port if the ports used on the entered IP address are different from the default settings.

  3. Click Apply.

To change the order in which manually added IP addresses are sent to remote nodes:

  1. Click the up and down arrows in the Order column to change the order in which the IP addresses are listed.

  2. Click Apply.

If external IP addresses are manually added to a Lighthouse configuration, these addresses are sent to a remote node during enrollment. If no external IP address is manually added, default external IP addresses are used.

The external IP addresses are sent to a remote node during Enrollment in the order configured on the SETTINGS > System > Administration page.
