Dr.Web Server Setup

In the Server settings the address must be set (see the Appendices document, p. Appendix E. The Specification of Network Addresses) to listen for accepting incoming TCP-connections.

You can specify this parameter in the following Servers settings: Administration → Dr.Web Server configuration → the Network tab → the Transport tab → the Address field.

By default, the following parameters are set to "listen" by the Server:

•Address: empty value—use all network interfaces for this computer, on which the Server is installed.

•Port: 2193—use the 2193 port, registered for Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite in IANA.

For the proper functioning of all Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite anti-virus network, it is enough for the Server to listen at least one TCP-port, which is known by all clients.

Dr.Web Agent Setup

During the Agent installation, the Server address (IP-address or hostname of the computer, on which the Server is launched) can be directly set in installation parameters:

drwinst <Server_Address>

For the Agent installation it is recommended to use the Server name, registered in DNS service. This will simplify the setting of the anti-virus network in case of moving Dr.Web Server to another computer.

By default the drwinst instruction launched without parameters will scan the network for Dr.Web Servers and will try to install Agent from the first found Server (the Multicasting mode with using Server Detection Service).

Thus, the Server address become known for the Agent during installation.

You can change the Server address in the Agent settings manually later.
