Currently we have Elastic Cloud Enterprise deployed on five hosts, each of these hosts is equipped with two network interfaces: a 1 Gbps one for management and a 10 Gbps one for production. Both interfaces have IP addresses assigned in different networks. The default gateway goes over the 1 Gbps interface.

During the installation of Elastic Cloud Enterprise I set the "--coordinator-host" option to the address of the 10 Gbps interface; however we see now that ECE does not utilize the 10 Gbps network and instead communicates over the 1Gbps interfaces.

Is there a way to force ECE to bind all of its communication to a specific network interface?

Did you use `--host-ip` set to the correct interface's IP? ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/2.3/ece-installation-script.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/2.3/ece-installation-script.html))

No, I did not. Is this something that can be changed post installation?

Unfortunately it is not, sorry ☹

Thanks for the answer, that means that we're probably going to reinstall.
