I configure server-ip in server.properties as 192.168.100.17
stop and restart bedrock server
server fails to bind to 192.168.100.17, but binds to 0.0.0.0 as 0.0.0.0:19132 instead of our named 192.168.100.17:19132
This prevents us from running multiple bedrock instances on the same server.
I can see that server.properties is being read as when I change server-port and restart, the new server-port value is listed in the bedrock service startup messages… the server-ip declaration is just being ignored.

Hi Pheelster,
I’ve been searching around and found a few references to server-ip online.
If it’s not a current feature (perhaps it’s been removed), then perhaps we consider this a feature request to get it put back in? 🙂
Yes, I’m running this on ESXi, and would like to be able to bundle up multiple Bedrock servers on a single VM. My VM has multiple IP addresses already assigned and responding, so it’s just Bedrock server-ip that’s failing there.
I’m not an expert so I apologize if anything I say is incorrect, but I’m fairly certain that “server-ip” is not a setting that is recognized by server.properties. If you want to run multiple servers on one device, you need to use different ports. Although that’s not exactly what you said it could be useful. If you want to have the server run under the local ip 192.168.100.17, the device you’re running the server on has to have that ip, as server.properties only controls what port the program binds to. Also, I noticed that your GPU is VMWare, which implies you’re running the server on a VM. Try running it not on the VM (I know you’ve probably tried that before) and see if it works. You say you want to run multiple instances on the same server. Does this mean you want to join the server on the VM from the your windows machine? If so, try enabling UWP loopback: https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/wiki/bds/
I’m not affiliated with the bug tracker at all but I hope this helps.
