Option -H <hostname> [-P <password>] 

Use

This option has two uses:

  1. You can define the option when you start SAProuter:

saprouter -r -H <hostname> (AS/400: saprouter '-r -H <hostname>' ).

This means that SAProuter only responds to the IP address of host <hostname> ; if option -S does not define any other value, this is default port 3299. If SAProuter is started without option -H , it responds to all IP addresses of this host. <hostname> can also be an IP address.

The host myhost has two IP addresses: a1 and a2.

The call saprouter -r (AS/400: saprouter '-r' ) causes SAProuter to respond to a1/3299 and a2/3299. The call saprouter -r -H a2 (AS/400: saprouter '-r -H a2' ) causes SAProuter to respond only to a2/3299.

If you started SAProuter with option -H <hostname> , you also have to define the host name for administration. For example, if you want to use a new route permission table, you must enter saprouter -n -H <hostname> (AS/400: saprouter '-n -H <hostname>' ).
  1. You can use this option in a running SAProuter to get SAProuter information (displayed with the option -l / -L) from a remote host. A password may be required, which is then entered with option -P <password> (AS/400: Option '-P <password>' ). SAProuter then checks its route permission table to determine whether the route is allowed with this password, and if it is displays the information.

SAProuter is running on host_sr , port 3299 (default). You would like to display the SAProuter information (list of all SAProuter clients, for example) from the host myhost .

Enter the command saprouter -l -H host_sr -P pass (AS/400: saprouter '-l -H host_sr -P pass ').

SAProuter checks whether its route permission table contains the entry

P myhost host_sr 3299 pass

or not, If it does, the SAProuter information is displayed on your host myhost .

Integration

If the SAProuter is running on a port other than the default port 3299, you can specify this in the command line with option -S <service>.
