Local Connection Information

These parameters specify the local end of a neighbor connection.

Local Host

The default value denotes the host computer’s default interface. You may override this default by specifying another network interface on the local host computer—either as a resolvable hostname, or as the IP address of the interface.

Local Connect Port

In each neighbor declaration, a routing daemon designates a TCP port number where the routing daemon accepts connection requests from that neighbor.

When a routing daemon declares several neighbors, it can designate a unique local connect port for each neighbor, or some of its neighbors can share a local connect port.

However, when a routing daemon process operates several routing table entries, the routing entries may not share any local connect ports.
