# runai tensorflow port-forward

forward one or more local ports to a tf training workload

```
runai tensorflow port-forward [WORKLOAD_NAME] [flags]
```

## Examples

```
# Forward connections from localhost:8080 to a workload on port 8090:
runai training tf port-forward tf-01 --port 8080:8090 --address localhost

# Forward connections from 0.0.0.0:8080 to a workload on port 8080:
runai training tf port-forward tf-01 --port 8080 --address 0.0.0.0 [requires privileges]

# Forward multiple connections from localhost:8080 to a workload on port 8090 and from localhost:6443 to a workload on port 443:
runai training tf port-forward tf-01 --port 8080:8090 --port 6443:443 --address localhost
```

## Options

```
      --address string                 --address [local-interface-ip\host] --address localhost --address 0.0.0.0 [privileged] (default "localhost")
  -h, --help                           help for port-forward
      --pod string                     Workload pod ID for port-forward, default: distributed(master) otherwise(random)
      --pod-running-timeout duration   Pod check for running state timeout.
      --port stringArray               port
  -p, --project string                 Specify the project to which the command applies. By default, commands apply to the default project. To change the default project use ‘runai config project <project name>’

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://run-ai-docs.nvidia.com/self-hosted/2.21/reference/cli/runai/runai_tensorflow_port-forward.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
