Adding an IP Address

Baruwa supports the use of Random IP addresses from an address pool as well as the assignment of dedicated IP addresses to domains, delivery servers and fallback servers. The IP addresses need to be added to the server entry in the management interface.

Note

Prior to adding the IP address here you need to add it to the server configuration files and bring up the interface then test that it is working. Adding the IP address here does not configure the address on the actual OS interface.

To add an address to a server.

  1. Click Settings
  2. Select the scanning node > Click the hostname
  3. Click Add IP Address
  4. Enter the IP Address in the IP Address field
  5. Enter an Optional description
  6. Ensure the Enabled checkbox is checked
  7. Check the External checkbox if this address is used to deliver internet mail
  8. Click the Add IP Address button

Updating an IP Address

Note

Editing the IP address here has no effect on the actual OS interface, that needs to be updated via the configuration on the node itself.

  1. Click Settings
  2. Select the scanning node > Click the hostname
  3. Select the IP address in the list and Click the Edit IP Address icon
  4. Make the required changes
  5. Click the Update IP Address button

Deleting an IP Address

Note

Deleting the IP address here has no effect on the actual OS interface, that needs to be deleted/disabled via the configuration on the node itself.

  3. Select the IP address in the list and Click the Delete IP Address icon
  4. Click the Delete IP Address button
