Identifier: network_socket

Type

string

Description

The name of the socket for external processes to connect to Fire for peer-to-peer communication.

The value will take the form host:port, where port is the TCP connection on which peer processes may connect to Fire. By default this port number is chosen arbitrarily at system startup. However a designated port can be specified in one of 2 ways:

1. via a -netsock=<port> command line option
2. via a netsock <port> entry in the System Configuration file

where <port> is the port number.

This identifier cannot be changed once Fire has started.
