Hi, I have 2 nodes with each 2 network interfaces. One of the networks is public and the other is private. I want to use elasticsearch only on the private network and for convenience also on the loopback devices. I have tried multiple ways in the yml file: network.bind\_host: ["192.168.1.213" , "127.0.0.1"] network.bind\_host: { "192.168.1.213" , "127.0.0.1" } network.bind\_host: { "192.168.1.213" , "127.0.0.1" Nothing seems to work How can I elasticsearch listining on the private and localhost interfaces?

You can not bind the same port to 2 IP. This should work: network.host: 192.168.1.213 See details at [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html#modules-network](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html#modules-network) HTH -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 16 septembre 2014 à 09:08:07, HansPeterSloot ([hanspeter.sloot@gmail.com](mailto:hanspeter.sloot@gmail.com)) a écrit: Hi, I have 2 nodes with each 2 network interfaces.
