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

• If you enter an IP address that is not on the machine, the Management Integration Framework
will try an IP address that is valid. If no network is detected, Management Integration Framework
will start with the non-specific (any) address.
• When the Management Integration Framework is bound to a hostname, the hostname must
be resolvable by the client, either by adding hostname mapping in the DNS or in an
etc\hosts file. If this is not done, users will not be able to log in using IP addresses, because
the Management Group security certificate will never be applied on the machine.
Discovery configuration settings
Discovery interval
This discovery setting establishes how often Management Integration Framework software performs
discoveries in a Management Integration Framework network.
• Typical use. To optimize performance relative to the size of a Management Integration
Framework network.
• The default is 60 seconds (1 minute).
• If you change the setting, it must be in the range of 1 to 3600 seconds (1 hour).
• Considerations. A short interval increases network traffic. A long interval reduces responsiveness
to changes in the Management Integration Framework network.
Discovery URI
This discovery setting establishes the mechanism, IP address, and port by which Management
Integration Framework software discovery components detect each other and share information.
See also Web service IP address setting.
• Typical use. To optimize Management Integration Framework discovery performance in
different networking environments.
• The default settings are: multicast, IP 231.0.1.10, and port 9000.
• Mechanism options include: Multicast, Broadcast, and Network Scan range.
• 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.
Multicast setting
• IP address. An IPv4 or IPv6 multicast address.
An IPv4 multicast address in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.◦
◦ An IPv6 multicast address beginning with the letters FF.
• Port. A valid UDP port number, except IANA-assigned port numbers 0 to 1023.
• Examples
IPv4: 232.0.1.10:8080
IPv6: [FF15::101]:8080
Broadcast and Network Scan Range settings
• IP address. A legal IPv4 address for the machine. Do not use IPv6.
• Port. A valid UDP port number, except IANA-assigned port numbers 0 to 1023.
