local_port Property

The port in the local host where the class is bound to.

Syntax

def get_local_port() -> int: ...
def set_local_port(value: int) -> None: ...

local_port = property(get_local_port, set_local_port)

Default Value

162

Remarks

The local_port property must be set before the class is activated (active is set to True). It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

The default port is 162 (standard trap port). If that port is busy, an error will be returned, unless the ForceLocalPort configuration setting is set to False, in which case a random port will be chosen.

local_port cannot be changed once the class is active. Any attempt to set the local_port property when the class is active will generate an error.

Note: on macOS and iOS, root permissions are required to set local_port to any value below 1024.
