# connect
[[Source]<br>](https://github.com/ripple/rippled/blob/a61ffab3f9010d8accfaa98aa3cacc7d38e74121/src/ripple/rpc/handlers/Connect.cpp "Source")
The `connect` command forces the `rippled` server to connect to a specific peer `rippled` server.
*The `connect` method is an [admin method](admin-rippled-methods.html) that cannot be run by unprivileged users!*
### Request Format
An example of the request format:
<!-- MULTICODE_BLOCK_START -->
*WebSocket*
```
{
"command": "connect",
"ip": "192.170.145.88",
"port": 51235
}
```
*JSON-RPC*
```
{
"method": "connect",
"params": [
{
"ip": "192.170.145.88",
"port": 51235
}
]
}
```
*Commandline*
```
#Syntax: connect ip [port]
rippled connect 192.170.145.88 51235
```
<!-- MULTICODE_BLOCK_END -->
The request includes the following parameters:
| `Field` | Type | Description |

| `ip` | String | IP address of the server to connect to |
| `port` | Number | _(Optional)_ Port number to use when connecting. Defaults to 6561. |
