# runai xgboost port-forward

forward one or more local ports to a xgboost training workload

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

## Examples

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

# Forward connections from 0.0.0.0:8080 to a workload on port 8080:
runai training xgboost port-forward xgboost-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 xgboost port-forward xgboost-01 --port 8080:8090 --port 6443:443 --address localhost
```

## Options

```
      --address string                 Bind the workload to a specific local interface or host. E.g., --address localhost or --address 0.0.0.0. (default "localhost")
  -h, --help                           help for port-forward
      --pod string                     Workload pod ID for port-forward, default: master
      --pod-running-timeout duration   Timeout for pod to reach running state (e.g. 5s, 2m, 3h).
      --port stringArray               port
  -p, --project string                 Specify the project for the command to use. Defaults to the project set in the context, if any. Use 'runai project set <project>' to set the default.

# Agent Instructions
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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://run-ai-docs.nvidia.com/self-hosted/2.23/reference/cli/runai/runai_xgboost_port-forward.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
