3. Consul Agent

A Consul Agent client must be available to all Spring Cloud Consul applications. By default, the Agent client is expected to be at localhost:8500. See the Agent documentation for specifics on how to start an Agent client and how to connect to a cluster of Consul Agent Servers. For development, after you have installed consul, you may start a Consul Agent using the following command:spring-doc.cn

./src/main/bash/local_run_consul.sh

This will start an agent in server mode on port 8500, with the ui available at localhost:8500spring-doc.cn
