P4TARGET

• For the P4 Proxy and replica servers, the name and port number of the target P4 Server (that is, the P4 Server for which P4P acts as a proxy).

Notes

The format of P4TARGET is host:port, or port by itself if both the P4 Server and the proxy, replica, or edge server are running on the same host.

Port numbers must be in the range 1024 through 32767.

For more about replicas, edge servers, and the P4 Proxy, see Deployment architecture in the P4 Server Administration Documentation.
