As-Agent Parameters
Parameter Name Sample URL Description
Multicast URL Format tibpgm://[dport]/[interface]/[discovery IP multicast address]/[option=value;]*
  • dport indicates destination port
  • interface indicates the IP address
  • multicast indicates the multicast IP address
  • option=value indicates the option user property has value as its value. These parameters must be known to PGM; otherwise, they are ignored.
Unicast URL Format tcp://interface: listen port
  • interface: on Windows, the interface can be an IP address or an interface number in a format like IP00 or IP01. For example:

    tcp://192.168.1.191/ or tcp://IP00/ or tcp://IP01/

    On Linux, the interface can be an IP address or interface number in a format like eth0 or eth1. For example:

    tcp://192.168.1.191/ or tcp://eth0/ or tcp://eth1/

  • listen port: The listen port can be a user-defined free port on the system. If nothing is specified, then the system chooses an available free port.
Log -log If the -log as parameter is used, then the output is as-<processid>.log.
-debug <log_level> - debug log level The default is 3 (INFO). The log information displayed on the console is minimal and cannot be controlled through this parameter. This parameter is only for log files. If a log file is not specified, then the debug (log level) value is ignored
Security Policy File Path (For ActiveSpaces Security) security policy file path -security_policy Refers to the path of a security policy file.
