Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Description and Planning Guide
You can use JP1/Software Distribution in an environment that has multiple LAN connections. A PC in such an environment has multiple network adapters, such as NICs.
JP1/Software Distribution supports the following two types of environments that have multiple LAN connections:
This section describes how to use JP1/Software Distribution in each of these environments.
The following shows an example of an environment separated into multiple networks.
Figure 6-3 Example of an environment separated into multiple networks
In a network separated into multiple networks, each job execution request includes the IP address of the requesting higher system. Therefore, requests to receive a job can be sent by the client to the correct destination.
However, to use JP1/Software Distribution in such an environment, connections must be established using the TCP protocol. Specify the following:
The following shows an example of an environment with duplex networks (that is networks, set up in a redundant configuration).
Figure 6-4 Example of an environment with duplex networks
In an environment with duplex networks, when a failure occurs in the main network, for example, operation switches to the backup network. However, the communication lines used by JP1/Software Distribution may be limited to the main network.
To enable JP1/Software Distribution to be used in such an environment, you must set priority orders for the network adapters when you set up clients on PCs. When you set up JP1/Software Distribution, open the Communication page and select Specify multiple network adapters. For details about the setup method, see 5.2.1 Connection Destination page in the Setup Guide.
