DESCRIPTIONBearer identificationmedia MEDIASpecifies the TIPC media type for a particular bearer to operate on. Different media types have dif‐ferent ways of identifying a unique bearer. For example, ib and eth identify a bearer with a DEVICEwhile udp identify a bearer with a LOCALIP and a NAMEib - Infinibandeth - Ethernetudp - User Datagram Protocol (UDP)name NAMELogical bearer identifier valid for bearers on udp media.device DEVICEPhysical bearer device valid for bearers on eth and ib media.Bearer propertiesdomainThe addressing domain (region) in which a bearer will establish links and accept link establishrequests.priorityDefault link priority inherited by all links subsequently established over a bearer. A single bearercan only host one link to a particular node. This means the default link priority for a bearer typi‐cally 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)toleranceDefault link tolerance inherited by all links subsequently established over a bearer. For more infoabout link tolerance see tipc-link(8)windowDefault link window inherited by all links subsequently established over a bearer. For more info aboutthe link window size see tipc-link(8)UDP bearer optionslocalip LOCALIPSpecify a local IP v4/v6 address for a udp bearer.localport LOCALPORTSpecify the local port for a udp bearer. The default port 6118 is used if no port is specified.remoteip REMOTEIPSpecify a remote IP for a udp bearer. If no remote IP is specified a udp bearer runs in multicast modeand tries to auto-discover its neighbours. The multicast IP address is generated based on the TIPCnetwork 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 unicastremoteip addresses to an existing udp bearer puts the bearer in replicast mode where IP multicast isemulated by sending multiple unicast messages to each configured remoteip. When a peer sees a TIPCdiscovery message from an unknown peer the peer address is automatically added to the remoteip (repli‐cast) list, thus only one side of a link needs to be manually configured. A remoteip address cannot beadded to a multicast bearer.remoteport REMOTEPORTSpecify the remote port for a udp bearer. The default port 6118 is used if no port is specified.EXIT STATUSExit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer upon failure.
