Rabbitmq listen distribution port and IP

[Artem Barbaruk]

Greetings,

Could you please help to find out how I can set IP to listener for distribution port that RabbitMQ nodes use to communicate with CLI tools and other nodes using a port known. I've found only RABBITMQ_DIST_PORT environment variable that changes port but I cannot set IP to listen. 

I'am running Ubuntu 16.04. Now I see the following in listening:

Active Internet connections (only servers)

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

tcp        0      0 192.168.0.5:5672      0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      26549/beam.smp  

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25672           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      26549/beam.smp  

tcp        0      0 192.168.0.5:8080      0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      26549/beam.smp  

tcp        0      0 192.168.0.5:4369      0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      26637/epmd      

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:4369          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      26637/epmd      

tcp6       0      0 ::1:4369                :::*                    LISTEN      26637/epmd   

Rabbitmq configuration:

/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf:

listeners.tcp.1 = 192.168.0.5:5672

management.listener.ip = 192.168.0.5

management.listener.port = 8080

/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf:

RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.0.5

export ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS=192.168.0.5

Thank you in advance.

You can configure distribution port/port range using configuration file as well:
https://www.rabbitmq.com/networking.html#epmd-inet-dist-port-range.

`kernel.inet_dist_use_interface` from [1] is probably the parameter you are looking for.
They are runtime parameters so you have to use advanced.config for them.

As for epmd, you've already discovered `ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS`. I don't think there is

a different way.

Thank you, that's what I need. I've put to /etc/rabbitmq/advanced.config the following:

[{kernel,[{inet_dist_use_interface,{192,168,0,5}}]}].

Now it shows:
