OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION
Bearer identification

"media " MEDIA

Specifies the TIPC media type for a particular bearer to operate on. Different media types have different ways of identifying a unique bearer. For example, "ib " "and " eth identify a bearer with a DEVICE while udp identify a bearer with a "LOCALIP " "and a " NAME ib - Infiniband eth - Ethernet udp - User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

"name " NAME

Logical bearer identifier valid for bearers on udp media.

"device " DEVICE

Physical bearer device valid for bearers on eth and ib media.

Bearer properties

domain

The addressing domain (region) in which a bearer will establish links and accept link establish requests.

priority

Default link priority inherited by all links subsequently established over a bearer. A single bearer can only host one link to a particular node. This means the default link priority for a bearer typically affects which bearer to use when communicating with a particular node in an multi bearer setup. For more info about link priority see tipc-link (8)

tolerance

Default link tolerance inherited by all links subsequently established over a bearer. For more info about link tolerance see tipc-link (8)

window

Default link window inherited by all links subsequently established over a bearer. For more info about the link window size see tipc-link (8)

UDP bearer options

"localip " LOCALIP

Specify a local IP v4/v6 address for a udp bearer.

"localport " LOCALPORT

Specify the local port for a udp bearer. The default port 6118 is used if no port is specified.

"remoteip " REMOTEIP

Specify a remote IP for a udp bearer. If no remote IP is specified a udp bearer runs in multicast mode and tries to auto-discover its neighbours. The multicast IP address is generated based on the TIPC network ID. If a remote IP is specified the udp bearer runs in point-to-point mode.

"remoteport " REMOTEPORT

Specify the remote port for a udp bearer. The default port 6118 is used if no port is specified.

EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer upon failure.
