udpport - specifies port for UDP communication

The udpport directive specifies which port Heartbeat will use for its UDP intra-cluster communication. There are two common reasons for overriding this value: there are multiple bcast clusters on the same subnet, or this port is already in use in accordance with some locally-established policy.

The default value for this parameter is the the port ha-cluster in /etc/services (if present), or 694 if port ha-cluster is not in /etc/services. 694 is the IANA registered port number for Heartbeat (a.k.a. ha-cluster).

A sample udpport directive is shown below.

udpport 694

NOTE: The GUI doesn't use UDP, and isn't intracluster communications, so GUI communication is not affected by this directive.

BUGS: Due to a specification error in the syntax of the mcast directive, this directive does not apply to mcast communications.
