Web Application are being created in Application, Front-end and Distributed Cache Server in SharePoint 2016 Min Role Topology

Question

Just trying to explore Min Role Topology in SharePoint 2016. Services running on my servers

Now I have noticed that web applications are being created on Application, Front-end and Distributed Cache server and taking the URL of Application server.

Is that expected or I have missed something?

Answer 1

Yes it is expected,

By default when you create the web application and use the default value for port number and host information then it pick the Central Admin server's details and URL will be like this "http://central admin serv:portnumber"

If you want, you have to manually update the host information and AAM.
