unable to add remote ip in |Reciever Connector - Exchange 2016

How many IPs are you adding?

only 1 i am adding, and currently there are not many address are added, then why it gives a error of exceeded

I believe you have reached the maximum number items that can be in the remote IP range list?

Try to create new test receive connector and add IPs to that connector and see if that s working?

The following article contains steps to add remote ip address,

http://exchangeserverpro.com/how-to-add-remote-ip-addresses-to-existing-receive-connectors/

i already used this article, but thing is the ranges are not reached, only 500 ip address were there and range is till 5000 ip address

please suggest

tried through pwoershell also
using below command

[PS] C:\>$RecvConn = Get-ReceiveConnector "Relay Connector"
[PS] C:\>$RecvConn.RemoteIPRanges += "10.0.0.99"
[PS] C:\>Set-ReceiveConnector "Relay Connector" -RemoteIPRanges $RecvConn.RemoteIPRanges

but same error

Try using following commands,

Create file named ipranges.txt.,  The file should contain IP ranges in a RemoteIPRanges acceptable format, e.g.:

    192.168.1.10
    192.168.1.20-192.168.1.29
    192.168.2.0/24

after creating. txt execute below command to add the single ip address.

Get-ReceiveConnector *\Appl-Relay | ForEach { Set-ReceiveConnector -RemoteIPRanges ($_.RemoteIPRanges+ (Get-Content ipranges.txt) | Sort -Unique) }

Note that when inspecting the results you can set $FormatEnumerationLimit to a value higher than the default (16) to have Get-ReceiveConnector * | fl RemoteIPRanges display all its values. Also, keep in mind when configuring connectors that the connector with the most specific matching IP address wins.

But Viral, we only need to add one ip address

only add single ip address on above text file and use above command to add.

Get-ReceiveConnector *\Appl-Relay | ForEach { Set-ReceiveConnector -RemoteIPRanges ($_.RemoteIPRanges+ (Get-Content ipranges.txt) | Sort -Unique) }

what is name of *\appl-Relay ??  and also cofnirm, it will not modify any current ip addresses mention in scope and also will not overwrite ?

have this tested
Exchange is 2016

since this is only one ip address request you to add the same using EAC.


the steps available on following article

http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2016-smtp-relay-connector/

i think you not get my comment, i want to add 1 ip address and 800 address are already there, so i worry if i run above command it will not impact anything

please suggest as per above comment

since this is only one ip address request you to add the same using EAC.

But as i said earlier, due to limit, i am unable to add single ip address from EAC and also from powershell
please suggest how can we increase the limit

There is no way to increase limit you need to create additional  receive connector with same settings.

You can create multiple receive connector as required with same settings.

so creating new recieve connectory with all setting of existing connector, will not affect anything in environment

thanks
