During installation, Broker Monitor binds to a port and IP address on the host machine. If a host machine supports virtual hosts/IPs and multiple NIC cards that reference a virtual host, the Broker Monitor can co-host multiple installations.

If you install multiple Broker environments on the same IP address on the same host machine, each Broker Monitor must be assigned a unique port. If, however, each Broker environment is installed on different IP addresses, the same Broker Monitor port can be used.
