## More TCP/IP Ports

You can make the Tigase to listen on more than one TCP/IP port for incoming external component connections. Please be aware however that there is no way, currently to bind an external component to a particular port. If the Tigase listens on two or more ports it accepts any external component on any of the ports. Therefore there is no practical reason for opening more than one port.

However, if for some reason you need Tigase to listen on more ports then this is an example configuration:

    --comp-name-1 = ext
    --comp-class-1 = tigase.server.ext.ComponentProtocol
    --external = muc.devel.tigase.org:muc-secret:listen:5270, \
       pubsub.devel.tigase.org:pubsub_pass:listen:5271, \
       msn.devel.tigase.org:msn_pass:listen:5272

Please note, the --external property with value should be written in a single line. Above example has split the line for readibility.

Above setting sets three TCP/IP ports to listen on: 5270, 5271 and 5272. It also specifies 3 different external domains with passwords which are accepted by the Tigase. Even though each port is specified with conjunction with a domain they are not bound together in any way. Any of specified domains can connect through any of specified ports.
