127.0.0.2 to 127.0.0.5 are valid IP addresses. Those are just alias addresses for your loopback interface. Verify: % ifconfig -a
127.0.0.0/8 is for loopback, so you can't connect this address from remote machines. You may be able configure SSH port forwarding from your monitroing host to cassandra node though I haven't try. maki 2011/4/16 tinhuty he <tinh...@hotmail.com>: > I have followed the description here > http://www.edwardcapriolo.com/roller/edwardcapriolo/entry/lauching_5_node_cassandra_clusters > to created 5 instances of cassandra in one CentOS 5.5 machine. using > nodetool shows the 5 nodes are all running fine. > > Note the 5 nodes are using IP 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.5.
