Chapter 5. Network Connections

Procedure

1. In the router’s configuration file, add a listener:

   listener {
       host: HOST_NAME/ADDRESS
       port: PORT_NUMBER/NAME
       ...
   }

   host

   Either an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) or hostname on which the router should listen for incoming connections.

   port

   The port number or symbolic service name on which the router should listen for incoming connections.

   For information about additional attributes, see Listener in the Configuration Reference.

2. If necessary, secure the connection.

   If you have set up SSL/TLS or SASL in your environment, you can configure the router to only accept encrypted or authenticated communication on this connection.

3. If you want the router to listen for incoming connections on additional hosts or ports, configure an additional listener entity for each host and port.

Procedure

1. In the router’s configuration file, add a connector:

   connector {
       name: NAME
       host: HOST_NAME/ADDRESS
       port: PORT_NUMBER/NAME
       ...
   }

   name

   The name of the connector. You should specify a name that describes the entity to which the connector connects. This name is used by configured addresses (for example, a linkRoute entity) in order to specify which connection should be used for them.

   host

   Either an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) or hostname on which the router should connect.

   port

   The port number or symbolic service name on which the router should connect.

   For information about additional attributes, see Connector in the Configuration Reference.

2. If necessary, secure the connection.

   If you have set up SSL/TLS or SASL in your environment, you can configure the router to only send encrypted or authenticated communication on this connection.

3. For each remaining router or broker to which this router should connect, configure an additional connector entity.
