Hello, On thread
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-jmeter-user/200610.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] [ http://tinyurl.com/2295s9 ] I read that the jmeter server and jmeter node have to be on the same subnet due to RMI restriction - is this still true? On http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-jmeter/JMeterRemoteTestingEnhancements I read that it is possible to assign a certain port to the RMI server - it doesn't mention how though. Like this it should be able to open only two ports on the firewall: ---------------------8<-------------------------------------------- It is possible to get RMI work with two specified ports. The port used by the rmiregistry is 1099 or any other port specified when starting the registry, so you can control this. The problem with RMI in combination with a firewall is the port used by the RMI server which by default is a random port choosen by the operating system. To get RMI through a firewall you therefore have to open all ports above 1023 because you do not know in advance which port will be used. Fortunately it is possible also to specify this port by replacing the default socket factory used by RMI with your own implementation which always uses the same port. This way you have to open only two ports on the firewall the rmiregistry port and the JMeter server port. -- OliverRossmueller ---------------------------------------------------------------->8---------- how can I achieve this? From network sniffing it looks like that I would really have to forward all ports above 1023 on the lan's fw to the jmeter node to enable the server (which is in a different subnet) and the node to communicate with each other. Forwarding two ports would be no problem though. thanks, Tom --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
