Configuring the Interfaces File

The syntax for the interfaces file is:

instance_name:
 master network_protocol machine_name port_number
	query network_protocol machine_name port_number
. . . 
cluster_server_name
	query network_protocol ether machine_name port_number

where:

• instance_name – is the instance for which you are making this interfaces file entry.
• network_protocol – is the network protocol used for the instance.
• machine_name – is the name of the machine on which the instance runs.
• port_number – is the port number used to connect to this instance.
• cluster_server_name – is the name of the cluster server.

This example includes the instances "ase1," "ase2," and "ase3," on machines "blade1," "blade2," and "blade3," running in the cluster "mycluster":

ase1
   master tcp ether blade1 19786
   query tcp ether blade1 19786
ase2
   master tcp ether blade2 19786
   query tcp ether blade2 19786
ase3
   master tcp ether blade3 	19786
   query tcp ether blade3 19786
mycluster
   query tcp ether blade1 19786
   query tcp ether blade2 19786
   query tcp ether blade3 19786
