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 actively connects with its neighbor.
Remarks
Use this method to specify a neighbor interface in which the local router actively attempts to connect to the remote neighbor.
On a BorderRouter, this method automatically configures the default policy for all pairings of the new interface with every other existing interface. The default policy forwards _INBOX.> (all inbox subjects); for additional details, see Policy in .

Parameter |
Description |
|
|
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 . |
|
|
The local router will listen on this local TCP port for neighbor connection requests from its remote neighbor. For more information, see Local Connect Port in . |
|
|
The local router will seek its neighbor running on this host computer. Supply either a resolvable hostname, or the IP address of the computer in a remote network where the neighboring daemon is running. For more information, see Remote Connection Information in . |
|
|
The local router will use this TCP port to request a neighbor connection with the remote router. The remote router must listen for neighbor requests on this port. For more information, see Remote Connection Information in . |
|
|
The local router will connect only with this remote router. |
|
|
The path cost of this neighbor link; see Load Balancing in . You may supply the default cost, NeighborInterface.DEFAULT_COST. |
|
|
When When 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. |
|
|
When When Notice that both neighbors must use the same protocols, otherwise they cannot establish a connection. |
|
|
In TLS protocols, the local router expects the remote router to present this certificate as evidence of its identity. Supply the text of the public certificate (in PEM encoding). |
