[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-1280) Bind error messages should report incorrect IP addresses

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1280?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12578468#comment-12578468 ] 

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1280:
--------------------------------

The solution is to create another annotation @LocalAddress, and check that every bind address annotated with @LocalAddress is a valid address on a local network interface.
Fixed on 2.12, backported to 2.11.2 as well.

> Not tried on 2.12, etc as yet.  This is when you specify an incorrect bind address - one that is not available on the target host - and instead of reporting this, JGroups attempts to increase the port number and retry, eventually failing with a port being out of range.  This can be very misleading as it leads you to debug conflicting ports, etc., when in fact the problem is a badly configured IP address.
> This was reported a few years back on the forums, but I've still seen the issue on JGroups 2.11.
