Managing relay list
In this view you can define the list of relays to use for the Relay Selection method of the same name. Each entry represents a relay that is defined as such for a specific subnet. It also specifies the relay's priority in case a child device is on two subnets, for example, if it is on WIFI and on a normal subnet the subnet relay has precedence over the WIFI relay.
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Relay Name | The network name of the relay, either as its short or complete network name, for example, scotty or scotty.enterprise.com , or as its IP address in dotted notation, for example, 194.45.245.5 or 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 . |
Client Subnet | The network address of the Subnet served by this relay (in the form of a single address, such as 192.168.1.0 or 10.5.50.128 ). |
Relay Port | The port number of the direct parent to which the device is to connect. If the port number is not listed the default port 1610 is assumed. |
Priority | Defines the priority of the relay within the relay list. This decides to which relay a device is to connect if it finds itself with two or more possible relays. If two possible relays for a device have the same priority the agent selects the relay arbitrarily; the same applies if the value is set to 0 . |
