Best practice for network definitions

Hello everybody
I think I am experiencing a problem with my firewall rules and I guess its due to misconfiguration on my side [;)]

I use the following on the rule with problems:

Any > [A Service group] > [An availability group]

I guess that this does not work to allow access for the service to be accessed on all systems in the availability group.
If I interpret the mouse-over on the AG right, this type of grouping only holds the IP-address of the upmost available host in the group ?!

To get my config right I would be happy if s.o. could post a best practice list of which type of definition to use for what use-case [[:)]]

Thanks in advance [[:)]]

best regards

  • Yes, you're right. An availability group resolves to the first reachable host in the group, not to all.

    What you need is a normal Network or DNS group.

    Also check the integrated help ("?" on the top right of the WebAdmin), there are very good explanations of the features...
