1. In the EAC, go to Servers > Database Availability Groups.
   
   
2. Select the DAG you want to configure and click .
   
   
3. Use the General page to view DAG membership and operational status, and to configure the DAG's witness server, witness directory, and automatic network configuration:
   
   
   • Witness server   The host name or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the witness server for the DAG. Although this is a required property for all DAGs, the witness server is used when there is an even number of DAG members and the quorum model in use by the cluster is Node and File Share Majority.
     
     
   • Witness directory   The full path of the directory used to store the witness.log file on the witness server. Although this is a required property for all DAGs, the witness directory is used only when the DAG's witness server is in use.
     
     
   • Operational servers   A read-only field that displays a list of DAG members and their current operational status.
     
     
   • Configure the database group network manually   A check box that you select when you want to configure all DAG networks manually. When you leave the check box clear, the system configures DAG networks automatically based on network interface configuration. If the check box is clear, the Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork and New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork cmdlets are disabled for administrative use against the DAG.
     
     
4. Use the IP Addresses page to view and modify the IP addresses assigned to the DAG:
   
   
   • Select an existing IP address and click to modify it.
     
     
   • Select an existing IP address and click the minus icon (delete) to remove it.
     
     
   • Enter an IP address and click to add it to the DAG.
     
     
5. Click Save to save any changes that were made.
   
   

This example sets the witness directory to C:\DAG1DIR for the DAG DAG1.

	Copy Code
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG1 -WitnessDirectory C:\DAG1DIR

This example preconfigures an alternate witness server of CAS3 and an alternate witness directory of C:\DAGFileShareWitnesses\DAG1.contoso.com for the DAG DAG1.

	Copy Code
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG1 -AlternateWitnessDirectory C:\DAGFileShareWitnesses\DAG1.contoso.com -AlternateWitnessServer CAS3

This example configures the DAG DAG1 to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain an IP address.

	Copy Code
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG1 -DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIPAddresses 0.0.0.0

This example configures the DAG DAG1 to use a static IP address of 10.0.0.8.

	Copy Code
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG1 -DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIPAddresses 10.0.0.8

This example configures the multi-subnet DAG DAG1 with multiple static IP addresses.

	Copy Code
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG1 -DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIPAddresses 10.0.0.8,10.0.1.8

This example configures the DAG DAG1 for DAC mode.

	Copy Code
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG1 -DatacenterActivationMode DagOnly

This example configures the replication port for the DAG DAG1 to be 63132.

	Copy Code
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG1 -ReplicationPort 63132

Note:
After changing the default replication port for a DAG, you must manually modify the Windows Firewall exceptions on each member of the DAG to allow communication to occur over the specified port.
