9.8.2. Specify Which Network Interface the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Uses
Isolating services so that they are accessible only to the clients who need them increases the security of your network. The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform includes two interfaces in its default configuration, both of which bind to the IP address 127.0.0.1
, or localhost
, by default. One of the interfaces is called management
, and is used by the Management Console, CLI, and API. The other is called public
, and is used to deploy applications. These interfaces are not special or significant, but are provided as a starting point.
management
interface uses ports 9990 and 9999 by default, and the public
interface uses port 8080, or port 8443 if you use HTTPS.
