Problem

I have multiple websites on my server, and they are mapped to four separate IP addresses using virtual network ports on the ethernet adapter. I have been unable to find a way to do this under Nitix.

Is this possible and if so, how do I add these IPs?

 

Solution

You can create virtual ethernet interfaces by creating special entries in FastForward:

1. Log into WebConfig.

2. Click Fast Forward in the Network Setup section of the menu.

3. Click Add Forward.

4. Enter the following information, replacing the BOLD parts with your actual information .

  • From Address: WEBSITE IP ADDRESS (For example: 1.1.1.1)
  • From Port: 80
  • To Address: 127.0.0.1
  • To Port: 80

5. Click Save Changes.

These FastForwards will cause your server to answer on "1.1.1.1".
