Restrict access to single nic card.

  • My server contains 2 nic cards. I would like to restrict access to only one of the Nic Cards.

  • Are both NICs active on the network? Do you mean just SQL traffic or all traffic?

  • Both nics are active on the Wan network. The machine does dual purpose. SQL server and real server. Both have thier own nic card in the machine but Real Server requires all TCP and UDP ports open. The problem I am having is getting SQL server to only accept connections from the one nic card.

  • Use an IPSec policy to block IP traffic to the TCP port your SQL Server is listening on. Configure the destination IP address to be the NIC you want to block. This should leave the other one alone.
