Defining hosts

In the hosts element you list each host by a host ID, a host name, a port number, and (optionally) properties and directories.

The host syntax is as follows:

<host host-id="host1" host-name="localhost" port="8888">
	<properties>
			<property name="department" value="engineering" />
			<property name="department" value="prof services" />
			<property name="enforceDiskQuota" />
	</properties>
</host>

In this example the port is the HTTP port through which the EAC Central Server communicates with its Agents. The optional use of host-id to alias host definitions is explained in the following section. The optional addition of properties and directories is described later in this document.
