Answer

Connect to OCLC via Connexion client

  • When connecting, use the default address of connexion.oclc.org
  • Institutions that have a firewall must configure and allow the entire network IP range 132.174.0.0/16
  • Connexion client uses standard http protocol and port 80 to connect to WorldCat.

Notes for network administrators

  • ‘Ping’ of connexion.oclc.org: OCLC has disabled ICMP externally so a ‘ping’ will always fail to connexion.oclc.org
  • ’Trace route’ to connexion.oclc.org: OCLC disallows trace routes to go further than our perimeter load balancer device (152.179.19.254) and it will not reach connexion.oclc.org
