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.

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.
