How to Configure a Symantec Endpoint Protection Management (SEPM) with Multiple NICs. The SEPM that you are installing uses multiple IP addresses but you only wish to have the SEPM working through a particular IP address

After logging into Symantec Endpoint Protection Management Home , Monitors and Reports keep loading with no error message

• SEPM installed in a Multihomed server with several NICs

Apache misconfigured

When Apache starts, it binds to some port and address on the local machine and waits for incoming requests. By default, it listens to all addresses on the machine. However, it needs to be told to listen on specific ports, or to listen on only selected addresses, or a combination. This is often combined with the Virtual Host feature which determines how Apache responds to different IP addresses, hostnames and ports.

The Listen directive tells the server to accept incoming requests only on the specified port or address-and-port combinations. If only a port number is specified in the Listen directive, the server listens to the given port on all interfaces. If an IP address is given as well as a port, the server will listen on the given port and interface. Multiple Listen directives may be used to specify a number of addresses and ports to listen on. The server will respond to requests from any of the listed addresses and ports.

( Ref. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/bind.html )

To make the server accept connections on one specified interface and port numbers, use the following in the Apache configuration file httpd.conf :

Listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:nn

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address and nn the port

 You will need to add loop back 127.0.0.1:nn in addition to the server IP and port.
