tipc bearer list
OPTIONS
Options (flags) that can be passed anywhere in the command chain.
- -h, --help
-
Show help about last valid command. For example
tipc bearer --help
will show bearer help and
tipc --help
will show general help. The position of the option in the string is irrelevant.
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.
Multiple
remoteip
addresses can be added via the
bearer add
command. Adding one or more unicast
remoteip
addresses to an existing
udp
bearer puts the bearer in replicast mode where IP
multicast is emulated by sending multiple unicast messages to each configured
remoteip.
When a peer sees a TIPC discovery message from an unknown peer the peer address
is automatically added to the
remoteip
(replicast) list, thus only one side of
a link needs to be manually configured. A
remoteip
address cannot be added to a multicast bearer.
- 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.
