Router.addAcceptAnyInterface()

Method

Declaration

NeighborInterface addAcceptAnyInterface(
    java.lang.String  localHost,
    int               localPort,
    int               cost,
    boolean           compressed)
  throws ConfigurationException
NeighborInterface addAcceptAnyInterface(
    int       localPort,
    int       cost,
    boolean   compressed)
  throws ConfigurationException
NeighborInterface addAcceptAnyInterface(
    int localPort,
    int cost)
  throws ConfigurationException

Note 

Use the first form when the router is release 7.2 or later.

Use the second form when the router is release 7.1 (it is deprecated for later releases).

Use the third form when the router is release 7.0.

Purpose

Specify a neighbor interface that accepts any neighbor.

Remarks

Use this method to specify a neighbor interface in which this routing daemon accepts neighbor connections from any other routing daemon.

It is not possible to configure a router name with more than one accept any neighbor interface.

Accept any interfaces cannot use TLS neighbor connections.

Parameter

Description

localHost

The local router will listen on this network interface for neighbor connection requests from remote routers. Supply an IP address or hostname denoting a local network interface. For more information, see Local Host in TIBCO Rendezvous Administration.

localPort

The local router will listen on this local TCP port for neighbor connection requests from remote routers. For more information, see Local Connect Port in TIBCO Rendezvous Administration.

cost

The path cost of this neighbor link; see Load Balancing in TIBCO Rendezvous Administration.

You may supply the default cost, NeighborInterface.DEFAULT_COST.

compressed

When true, the new neighbor interface compresses outbound data and uncompresses inbound data.

When false, the new neighbor interface does not compress data.

Notice that it is inconsistent for one neighbor to compress data while the other does not. Neighbors must agree concerning compression, otherwise they cannot establish a connection.

Rendezvous routing daemons support data compression in release 7.1 and later; earlier releases do not. When the routing daemon does not support data compression, use the form of this method that omits this parameter.
