Configuring the TIBCO Routing Daemon (rvrd) to Communicate Between Two Networks

---

The TIBCO routing daemon (rvrd) can be used to route through different subnets. For additional information, refer to the TIBCO Administration Guide, Routing Daemon.

Sample Configuration

The following procedure explains how to configure the TIBCO routing daemon between an NT host (JVR) and a UNIX host (Cisco PerfE).

The following sample IP addresses are used:

•JVR host IP address: 128.1.13.105

•Cisco PerfE host IP address: 172.1.15.110.

Windows NT Installation

On a Windows NT system, do the following:

---

Step 1 Uninstall all services registered for TIBCO.

Step 2 Run rvntscfg.exe to uninstall rvd, rva, etc.

Step 3 Install rvrd:

-permanent -store c:\rvrd.db -logfile c:\rvrd.log

Step 4 Start the rvrd service.

By default, the service uses port 7500 and the http port 7580.

Step 5 Open the rvrd web interface:

http://128.107.133.105:7580

Step 6 Add a routing entry as follows:

a. Click Routers.

b. Enter the router name, JVRHOST, then click Add.

c. For the JVRHOST route, add a local network as follows:

•Click Local Networks, then add the network information:

Network Name: JVRNetwork

Service: 7500

Network Specification: 128.107.133.105

•Click Add Local Network.

•Double-click the newly added local network to specify the subject filtering, enter as appropriate or enter ">" to accept every subject.

•Click Add for import and export.

Step 7 For the JVRHOST route, add PERFEHOST as a neighbor:

a. Click Neighbors, then add the network information:

Neighbor Name: PERFEHOST

Host IP Address: 172.29.146.110

Remote Port: 7510

Local Port: 7510

b. Click Add Active [all].

Alternatively, you can listen for messages from all Cisco PerfEs by selecting the top option and specifying the local port number as 7510.

This completes the rvrd configuration under Windows NT.

UNIX Installation

On a UNIX system, do the following:

---

Step 1 Ensure Cisco PerfE is stopped by using the stop.sh all command.

Step 2 Ensure all the processes (rvd, rva) are shut down.

Step 3 Ensure the DAS_HOME environment variable is set:

$> sh

$> . $DAS_HOME/bin/env.sh

$> rvrd -listen tcp:7500 -store $DAS_HOME/config/rvrd.cfg

From the Web browser, go to http://172.29.146.110:7580 and administer rvrd on the Cisco PerfE host.

Step 4 First, add a routing entry:

Router name: PERFEHOST

Step 5 For the PERFEHOST TIBCO router, enter the local network information as follows:

Network Name: PERFENetwork

Service: 7500

Network Specification: 172.29.146.110

Specify the subject appropriately or as >.

Step 6 For the PERFEHOST route, add JVRHOST as a neighbor:

a. Click on Neighbors and add the network information:

Neighbor Name: JVRHOST

Host IP Address: 128.107.133.105

Remote port: 7510

Local Port: 7510

b. Click Add Active [all].

This completes the UNIX/Cisco PerfE rvrd configuration.

Both daemons are now configured appropriately to talk to the networks and they establish TCP connections on port 7510.
