Configuring Dr.Web Server

An address must be set in the Dr.Web Server settings (see the Appendices, section Appendix D. The Specification of Network Addresses) to listen for 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 port 2193.

info

Port 2193 is registered with IANA for Dr.Web Enterprise Management Service.

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

Configuring Dr.Web Agent

During Dr.Web Agent installation, you can set the Dr.Web Server address (IP-address, NetBIOS or domain name of the computer running Dr.Web Server) directly in the installation parameters:

drwinst /server <Dr.Web_Server_Address>

It is recommended that you use Dr.Web Server name in the FQDN format as the Dr.Web Server address, registered in the DNS service when installing Dr.Web Agent. This will make it easier to configure the anti-virus network in case of moving Dr.Web Server to another computer.

By default, the drwinst command launched without parameters will scan the network for Dr.Web Servers and will try to install Dr.Web Agent from the first found Dr.Web Server (Multicast mode using the Dr.Web Server Detection Service).

Thus, the Dr.Web Server address becomes known to Dr.Web Agent during installation.

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