activemq network of broker messages not flowing

Question

activemq 5.12

Network of broker configuration: hub, spoke1, spoke2

spoke1 has duplex n/w connection to hub spoke2 has duplex network connection to hub

I use the following to produce on spoke1

bin/activemq producer --brokerurl tcp://0.0.0.0:61616 --destination queue://producer-214 --messagecount 100 --message "hi there" Then on spoke2, I try to consume messages

bin/activemq consumer --brokerUrl tcp://0.0.0.0:61616 --destination queue://producer-214 I can see that 100 messages are enqueued on spoke1, but my consumer doesnt see any of the messages and just waits like so

INFO | Connecting to URL: tcp://0.0.0.0:61616 (null:null) INFO | Consuming queue://producer-214 INFO | Sleeping between receives 0 ms INFO | Running 1 parallel threads INFO | consumer-1 wait until 1000 messages are consumed My configuration for spoke1/2 is identical except for brokername. following is config for spoke2 :

Any help will be appreciated

Answer 1

The issue was I had networkTTL=1 as soon as I made networkTTL=2 in the metwork connector, messages could be read from spoke2

Thank You
