Enable Federation

Federation is the process of enabling RabbitMQ brokers to communicate over a WAN.

This task must be performed on any server running RabbitMQ in systems that require federation. If federation is not part of your system design, skip this task.

  1. Open a command prompt and change the directory to the location of your RabbitMQ installation. For example:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-<version number>\sbin\

  2. Type the following command to enable federation:

    rabbitmq-plugins.bat enable rabbitmq_federation

  3. Type the following command to enable federation management in the RabbitMQ Management web portal:

    rabbitmq-plugins.bat enable rabbitmq_federation_management

  4. When the process has finished, you can close the command prompt.
