Description

A mirror virtual IP address (VIP) allows all external clients (language bindings, ODBC/JDBC/SQL clients, and so on) to connect to the mirror through a single address. For more information, see the [Mirrors] section and Configuring a Mirror Virtual IP (VIP).

Changing This Parameter

On the Create a Mirror page of the Management Portal (System Administration > Configuration > Mirror Settings > Create a Mirror) select Use Virtual IP. Then, enter an IP address and a Mask (CIDR format), and select a Network Interface.

Instead of using the Management Portal, you can change VirtualAddressInterface in the Config.MirrorMemberOpens in a new tab class (as described in the class reference) or by editing the CPF in a text editor (as described in Editing the Active CPF).
