Description

The SERVICE_IP_ADDRESS option specifies the IP interface on which to accept network connection requests.

SERVICE_IP_ADDRESS is useful only if the system has multiple IP interfaces. If the system has only one interface, do not use SERVICE_IP_ADDRESS.

If the system has multiple interfaces and SERVICE_IP_ADDRESS is not used, connection requests are accepted on all interfaces defined on the system.
