SYNOPSIS

   connect [controller_alias | [[protocol://]host][:port]]

DESCRIPTION

  Connects to the controller on the specified host and port using the specified protocol.

  The default values can be customized by specifying the desired defaults as
  command line arguments when launching the CLI. E.g.

  jboss-cli.sh controller=remote+http://controller-host.net:1234

  Or

  jboss-cli.sh controller=controller-host.net

  In this case, the default port will be 9990 and the default protocol will be remote+http.

  Note, specifying controller argument will only set the default host and port
  values for the connect command but will not automatically connect to the
  specified controller.

  To connect automatically after the launch, use '--connect' switch. E.g.

  jboss-cli.sh --connect
  jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=controller-host.net
  jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=controller-host.net:1234
  jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=remote://controller-host.net:1234
  jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=remote+http://controller-host.net:1234

  The host may be any of these formats:
  - a host name, e.g. localhost
  - an IPv4 address, e.g. 127.0.0.1
  - an IPv6 address, e.g. [::1]

  Controller addresses can be aliased and stored in the jboss-cli.xml config
  file. Aliases can later be used as arguments for the connect command.
