start_urbackup_server --broadcast_interfaces

1

How do you use this command? I tried the following and all it did was break things.

start_urbackup_server --broadcast_interfaces interface name
start_urbackup_server --broadcast_interfaces ip address
start_urbackup_server --broadcast_interfaces MAC Address

None worked. I need to have the service only operate in one NIC on a multi NIC system.

If you run it with --loglevel debug --no_daemon it should say something like

Binding to interface X for broadcasting…

start_urbackup_server --broadcast_interfaces X should then work.

Edit: It does not work. Investigating…

There were some quoting issues in start_urbackup_server. See here for the fix:

ok, so does that mean re-compile from source? I am using the version from the OpenSUSE repository.

You can just remove the quotes in /usr/sbin/start_urbackup_server as indicated in the link.

Still did not work but I was able to do what I need using a separate vSwitch in ESXi.
