Values

"" (empty string)

This is the default value.

A string in the format [ip-addr][(low-port[,high-port])]

Here are some examples:

192.0.2.0

The channel binds to address 192.0.2.0 locally.

192.0.2.0(1000)

The channel binds to address 192.0.2.0 locally and uses port 1000.

192.0.2.0(1000,2000)

The channel binds to address 192.0.2.0 locally and uses a port in the range 1000 to 2000.

(1000)

The channel binds to port 1000 locally.

(1000,2000)

The channel binds to a port in the range 1000 to 2000 locally.

We can specify a host name instead of an IP address. For a real-time connection to a broker, this property is relevant only when multicast is used, and the value of the property must not contain a port number, or a range of port numbers. The only valid values of the property in this case are null, an IP address, or a host name.
