I have a questions about TCP/IP configurations for SQL server 2008R2. We have several instances on one machine (same IP) and some of the instances have the IP1 (under the IP addresses tab) enabled set to yes and have dynamic port values of 0 because we are using dynamic ports. Should this "enabled" be set to yes on all the instances because we are using a static IP address for the server?
We are not having any connection issues, I was just wondering what is the best practice on the TCP/IP settings.
Thanks.
