For better URLs, the content folder has been renamed 'docs' and all other files have been moved up a level. Also, non-docs images have been moved to the static folder at the top level where they belong. Many relative paths had to be fixed to make this work.

# Manually Connect to a Specific Peer
|
|
|
|
Use these steps to manually connect your server to a specific [peer](../../../concepts/networks-and-servers/peer-protocol.md) 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.md) 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](../../../concepts/networks-and-servers/peer-protocol.md). The default config file uses port 51235.
|
|
- You must have a network connection from your server to the peer. For example, the peer server must [forward the appropriate port through its firewall](forward-ports-for-peering.md).
|
|
- 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.md) for your server.
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
To connect, use the [connect method][]. For example:
|
|
|
|
{% tabs %}
|
|
|
|
{% tab label="WebSocket" %}
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"command": "connect",
|
|
"ip": "169.54.2.151",
|
|
"port": 51235
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
{% /tab %}
|
|
|
|
{% tab label="JSON-RPC" %}
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"method": "connect",
|
|
"params": [
|
|
{
|
|
"ip": "169.54.2.151",
|
|
"port": 51235
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
{% /tab %}
|
|
|
|
{% tab label="Commandline" %}
|
|
```
|
|
rippled connect 169.54.2.151 51235
|
|
```
|
|
{% /tab %}
|
|
|
|
{% /tabs %}
|
|
|
|
