Note

  • The Local address drop-down list elements are IP address defined in the Network configuration menu (Network interfaces configuration) or labeled IP addresses (Labeled IP addresses).
  • In case of cluster configuration, select a labeled IP address from the Local address drop-down list and make sure that other nodes have IP addresses assigned to this label. For more information refer to the Labeled IP addresses topic.

User connects to the target host by providing Fudo Enterprise IP address and port number which unambiguously identifies target host.

  • Select proxy button in the Connection mode field.
  • Select the the IP address from the Local address drop-down list and enter port number.

Note

  • The Local address drop-down list elements are IP address defined in the Network configuration menu (Network interfaces configuration) or labeled IP addresses (Labeled IP addresses).
