10.4.8. View Routes

Procedure 10.1. Using the route list command

1. Create the following two routes:

   $ qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10003 localhost:10004 fed.topic
   $ qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10004 localhost:10003 fed.topic
   

2. Use the route list command to show the routes associated with the broker:

   $ qpid-route route list localhost:10003
   localhost:10003 localhost:10004 fed.topic <dynamic>
   

   Note that this shows only one of the two routes created, namely the route for which localhost:10003 is a destination.
3. To view the route for which localhost:10004 is a destination, run route list on localhost:10004:

   $ qpid-route route list localhost:10004
   localhost:10004 localhost:10003 fed.topic <dynamic>
   

Procedure 10.2. Using the route map command

1. The route map command shows all routes associated with a broker, and recursively displays all routes for brokers involved in federation relationships with the given broker. For example, run the route map command for the two brokers configured above:

   $ qpid-route route map localhost:10003
   
   Finding Linked Brokers:
       localhost:10003... Ok
       localhost:10004... Ok
   
   Dynamic Routes:
   
     Exchange fed.topic:
       localhost:10004 <=> localhost:10003
   
   Static Routes:
     none found
   

   Note that the two dynamic exchange links are displayed as though they were one bidirectional link. The route map command is helpful for larger, more complex networks.
2. Configure a network with 16 dynamic exchange routes:

   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10001 localhost:10002 fed.topic
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10002 localhost:10001 fed.topic
   
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10003 localhost:10002 fed.topic
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10002 localhost:10003 fed.topic
   
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10004 localhost:10002 fed.topic
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10002 localhost:10004 fed.topic
   
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10002 localhost:10005 fed.topic
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10005 localhost:10002 fed.topic
   
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10005 localhost:10006 fed.topic
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10006 localhost:10005 fed.topic
   
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10006 localhost:10007 fed.topic
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10007 localhost:10006 fed.topic
   
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10006 localhost:10008 fed.topic
   qpid-route dynamic add localhost:10008 localhost:10006 fed.topic
   

3. Use the route map command starting with any one broker to see the entire network:

   $ qpid-route route map localhost:10001
   
   Finding Linked Brokers:
       localhost:10001... Ok
       localhost:10002... Ok
       localhost:10003... Ok
       localhost:10004... Ok
       localhost:10005... Ok
       localhost:10006... Ok
       localhost:10007... Ok
       localhost:10008... Ok
   
   Dynamic Routes:
   
     Exchange fed.topic:
       localhost:10002 <=> localhost:10001
       localhost:10003 <=> localhost:10002
       localhost:10004 <=> localhost:10002
       localhost:10005 <=> localhost:10002
       localhost:10006 <=> localhost:10005
       localhost:10007 <=> localhost:10006
       localhost:10008 <=> localhost:10006
   
   Static Routes:
     none found
