Conventions
for specifying an IPv6 address with port number
Sometimes when you use an
VMware Smart Assurance
command line utility, such as dmctl, sm_tpmgr, or
sm_snmpwalk, you want to specify a Broker other than the default Broker,
which is identified in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/runcmd_env.sh
file of the installation directory from which the command line utility
is invoked; for example, localhost:426. To do so, you include the
-b <Broker
> option in the command line invocation.The <
Broker
> syntax is hostname or IP address,
followed by a colon (:) delimiter, followed by a port number. The
combination of an IP (v4 or v6) address and port number is also called
a socket.“Conventions for specifying an IPv6 address with port
number” section in Chapter 8, IPv6 Address Conventions, in the provides information on the syntax.
