HP Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide (T5494-96539, October 2012)

Web server connections
This general setting establishes the maximum number of concurrent connections for the Management
Integration Framework web server.
• Typical use. To increase the number of allowed connections.
• The default is 2 concurrent connections.
• If you change the setting, it must be in the range of 1 to 25 connections.
Web server port
This general setting establishes the port number for the Management Integration Framework web
server. This is the port number that is used to browse to Management Integration Framework
interfaces.
• Typical use. When corporate policy or network infrastructures (firewalls, proxies, etc.) do not
allow port number 2374 to be used.
• The default is 2374.
• If you specify a port number, it must be in the range of 1024 to 65535.
• The entry must not be 0 (zero). Zero would allow Management Integration Framework to
silently assign a port number. Not knowing the port number would prevent browsing to the
Management Integration Framework web server.
• Considerations. The specified port must be free every time the Management Integration
Framework service starts; otherwise, the service will not be available.
Web service IP address (IPv4/IPv6)
This general setting establishes the IP address or host name for all Management Integration
Framework web services. This is the address that is used to browse to Management Integration
Framework interfaces.
• Typical use. When a specific IP address must be used. For example, when required to use a
specific network card.
• By default this field is empty, which allows Management Integration Framework to use the IP
address of the machine.
Management Integration Framework software determines the IP address of the machine as
follows:
◦ Management Integration Framework searches for IPv4 addresses on the machine and
uses the first IPv4 address that it finds.
◦ If no IPv4 addresses are found, Management Integration Framework uses the first IPv6
address that it finds on the machine.
• If you specify an IP address, it can be any legal IPv4 or IPv6 address (40 characters maximum).
• The IP version must be the same as certain other settings, otherwise the Management Integration
Framework will not work properly. See Setting the same IP version.
• If you enter a non-specific address value, for example 0.0.0.0 (IPv4) or :: (IPv6), the
Management Integration Framework web services and server will listen for any network
connection on the machine. In this case, web services will register the short name and the
DNS must be set up properly to resolve the short name.
