Hi,
we have a redundant DMA system which has a new nic interface enabled.
NIC Main ....209
NIC Backup ....210
NIC Virtual ....211
First we tested the connection to all new devices with 211. After everything was working I changed the network ip address and set 211 as the virtual ip. Also I did a restart of Dataminer software.
But now some elements are in timeout. These devices have security options and polling is only from ...211 allowed. I guess DMA is currently using ....210 (we are running on backup) for the communication. Checking ipconfig both addresses are listed, but I don't know which one is used for communcation. Is it possible to force virtual ip for polling?
Okay I got the answer. Windows is always using the lowest number as the source.
I changed main and backup to 212/213. Virtual IP 211 will always be on top as the source.
