    31  
    32  ## Description
    33  
    34  Join a node to a swarm. The node joins as a manager node or worker node based upon the token you
    35  pass with the `--token` flag. If you pass a manager token, the node joins as a manager. If you
    36  pass a worker token, the node joins as a worker.
    37  
    38  ## Examples
    39  
    40  ### Join a node to swarm as a manager
    41  
    42  The example below demonstrates joining a manager node using a manager token.
    43  
    44  ```bash
    45  $ docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-3pu6hszjas19xyp7ghgosyx9k8atbfcr8p2is99znpy26u2lkl-7p73s1dx5in4tatdymyhg9hu2 192.168.99.121:2377
    46  This node joined a swarm as a manager.
    47  $ docker node ls
    48  ID                           HOSTNAME  STATUS  AVAILABILITY  MANAGER STATUS
    49  dkp8vy1dq1kxleu9g4u78tlag *  manager2  Ready   Active        Reachable
    50  dvfxp4zseq4s0rih1selh0d20    manager1  Ready   Active        Leader
    51  ```
    52  
    53  A cluster should only have 3-7 managers at most, because a majority of managers must be available
    54  for the cluster to function. Nodes that aren't meant to participate in this management quorum
    55  should join as workers instead. Managers should be stable hosts that have static IP addresses.
    56  
    57  ### Join a node to swarm as a worker
    58  
    59  The example below demonstrates joining a worker node using a worker token.
    60  
    61  ```bash
    62  $ docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-3pu6hszjas19xyp7ghgosyx9k8atbfcr8p2is99znpy26u2lkl-1awxwuwd3z9j1z3puu7rcgdbx 192.168.99.121:2377
    63  This node joined a swarm as a worker.
    64  $ docker node ls
    65  ID                           HOSTNAME  STATUS  AVAILABILITY  MANAGER STATUS
    66  7ln70fl22uw2dvjn2ft53m3q5    worker2   Ready   Active
    67  dkp8vy1dq1kxleu9g4u78tlag    worker1   Ready   Active        Reachable
    68  dvfxp4zseq4s0rih1selh0d20 *  manager1  Ready   Active        Leader
    69  ```
    70  
    71  ### `--listen-addr value`
    72  
    73  If the node is a manager, it will listen for inbound swarm manager traffic on this
    74  address. The default is to listen on 0.0.0.0:2377. It is also possible to specify a
    75  network interface to listen on that interface's address; for example `--listen-addr eth0:2377`.
    76  
    77  Specifying a port is optional. If the value is a bare IP address, or interface
    78  name, the default port 2377 will be used.
    79  
    80  This flag is generally not necessary when joining an existing swarm.
    81  
    82  ### `--advertise-addr value`
    83  
    84  This flag specifies the address that will be advertised to other members of the
    85  swarm for API access. If unspecified, Docker will check if the system has a
    86  single IP address, and use that IP address with the listening port (see
    87  `--listen-addr`). If the system has multiple IP addresses, `--advertise-addr`
    88  must be specified so that the correct address is chosen for inter-manager
    89  communication and overlay networking.
    90  
    91  It is also possible to specify a network interface to advertise that interface's address;
    92  for example `--advertise-addr eth0:2377`.
    93  
    94  Specifying a port is optional. If the value is a bare IP address, or interface
    95  name, the default port 2377 will be used.
    96  
    97  This flag is generally not necessary when joining an existing swarm.
    98  
    99  ### `--data-path-addr`
   100  
   101  This flag specifies the address that global scope network drivers will publish towards
   102  other nodes in order to reach the containers running on this node.
   103  Using this parameter it is then possible to separate the container's data traffic from the
   104  management traffic of the cluster.
   105  If unspecified, Docker will use the same IP address or interface that is used for the
   106  advertise address.
   107  
   108  ### `--token string`
   109  
   110  Secret value required for nodes to join the swarm
   111  
   112  ### `--availability`
   113  
   114  This flag specifies the availability of the node at the time the node joins a master.
   115  Possible availability values are `active`, `pause`, or `drain`.
   116  
   117  This flag is useful in certain situations. For example, a cluster may want to have
   118  dedicated manager nodes that are not served as worker nodes. This could be achieved
   119  by passing `--availability=drain` to `docker swarm join`.
