Dr.Web Server Setup

In the Dr.Web 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 Dr.Web Server settings: Administration → Dr.Web Server configuration → Network tab → Transport tab → Address field.

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

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

Port: 2193—use the 2193 port.

info

The 2193 port is registered for Dr.Web Enterprise Management Service in IANA.

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

Dr.Web Agent Setup

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

drwinst /server <Dr.Web_Server_Address>

For the Agent installation it is recommended to use the Dr.Web 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 Dr.Web Server (the Multicasting mode with using the Dr.Web Server Detection Service).

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

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