Unwired Platform Internal Communications

Network and host provisioning must accommodate Unwired Platform internal communications.

When Unwired Platform server components are installed on more than one host, they depend on network connections for some inter-process communication. The local network must be configured to allow all communications between Unwired Platform server components.

When all Unwired Platform server components are installed on a single host, they depend on regular IP communication on the primary network interface of the host.

To accommodate Unwired Platform internal communications, you may need to reconfigure intrusion detection/prevention systems (either hardware- or software-based).

Configure "personal firewall" applications, or host-based intrusion prevention software (HIPS) to allow all communications between Unwired Platform server components.
Configure intrusion detection/prevention appliances (IPS or IDPS) to allow all network communications between Unwired Platform server components.

Note: When you install any new intrusion detection/prevention system on an Unwired Platform server host, or on a local network that services an Unwired Platform server host, you must configure that new system to accommodate all Unwired Platform internal communications.
