ALARM-SMTP-BIND-ADDR <DNS-name> | <IP-address>
Defines the DNS name or IP address of the specific NonStop TCP/IP stack that MOMI should bind to when sending alarm EMAIL. The address specified here forces the 'source' address for the message.
Note that the address specified must be valid for the TCP/IP stack MOMI uses as specified by the keyword ALARM-SMTP-TCPIP-NAME. If the IP address is not valid for the TCP/IP stack MOMI uses to send the email, a failure to send occurs.
This setting handles the situation where a NonStop system is configured for Ethernet port fault tolerance (i.e. with a CLIM) and a particular source IP address must be forced onto outbound socket connections. The reason this function may be needed is that CLIMs contain multiple physical Ethernet ports but has only one TCP/IP process and the default system choice may not be desirable from a network perspective.
Technically, this keyword causes a socket level call to bind() after a socket is opened to force an association with IP address specified.
Example:
== alarm outbound email
== source IP address
ALARM-SMTP-BIND-ADDR 67.12.65.12
