Change Multicast Address
This topic describes how to change your multicast address for group membership.By default, Eucalyptus uses the multicast address 239.193.7.3 for group membership. Most data centers limit multicast address communication for security measures. We recommend that you use addresses in the administratively-scoped multicast address range.
Note
As of Eucalyptus 4.3, the default multicast address changed from 228.7.7.3 to 239.193.7.3.To change the multicast address for group membership Stop all services, starting from the CC, SC, Walrus, then CLC. For example:
systemctl stop eucalyptus-cluster.service
systemctl stop eucalyptus-cloud.service
Change the eucalyptus.conf on the CC, modifying the CLOUD_OPTS parameter to the new IP address:
CLOUD_OPTS="--mcast-addr=228.7.7.3"
Note
The above shows how to set the multicast address to a value compatible with releases prior to Eucalyptus 4.3.systemctl start eucalyptus-cloud.service
systemctl start eucalyptus-cluster.service
Verify that the configured multicast address is being used via netstat:
netstat -nulp
Postrequisites
- Check the firewall after changing the multicast address. See for more information.
