# Manually Connect to a Specific Peer
|
|
|
|
Use these steps to manually connect your server to a specific [peer](peer-protocol.html) in the XRP Ledger network.
|
|
|
|
**Tip:** If you want to make sure your server automatically connects to this server on startup and remains connected later, you may want to configure a [peer reservation](use-a-peer-reservation.html) for that peer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- You must know the IP address of the peer you want to connect to.
|
|
- You must know what port the peer you want to connect to uses for the XRP Ledger [peer protocol](peer-protocol.html). By default, this is port 51235.
|
|
- You must have a network connection from your server to the peer. For example, the peer server must [forward the apppropriate port through its firewall](forward-ports-for-peering.html).
|
|
- The peer server must have available peer slots. If the peer is already at its maximum number of peers, you can ask the peer server's operator to add a [peer reservation](use-a-peer-reservation.html) for your server.
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
To connect, use the [connect method][]. For example:
|
|
|
|
<!-- MULTICODE_BLOCK_START -->
|
|
|
|
*WebSocket*
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"command": "connect",
|
|
"ip": "169.54.2.151",
|
|
"port": 51235
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*JSON-RPC*
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"method": "connect",
|
|
"params": [
|
|
{
|
|
"ip": "169.54.2.151",
|
|
"port": 51235
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Commandline*
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rippled connect 169.54.2.151 51235
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<!-- MULTICODE_BLOCK_END -->
|
|
