tipc bearer list
Options (flags) that can be passed anywhere in the command chain.
-h, --help
Show help about last valid command. For example tipc bearer
--help will show bearer help and tipc --help will show
general help. The position of the option in the string is
irrelevant.
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.
Multiple remoteip addresses can be added via the bearer add
command. Adding one or more unicast remoteip addresses to
an existing udp bearer puts the bearer in replicast mode
where IP multicast is emulated by sending multiple unicast
messages to each configured remoteip. When a peer sees a
TIPC discovery message from an unknown peer the peer
address is automatically added to the remoteip (replicast)
list, thus only one side of a link needs to be manually
configured. A remoteip address cannot be added to a
multicast bearer.
remoteport REMOTEPORT
Specify the remote port for a udp bearer. The default port
6118 is used if no port is specified.
Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer
upon failure.
