Summary
Update tunneling documentation to reflect two RDK changes that shipped on 2026-07-10:
Offline/direct tunneling (rdk#6212):
viam machines part tunnelnow accepts--address,--key-id, and--keyflags. When all three are provided, the CLI dials the machine directly without contacting app.viam.com, enabling tunneling on machines with no internet access.Auto-configure tunnel ports (rdk#6204): The CLI now automatically adds the destination port to the machine's
traffic_tunnel_endpointsconfig when the port isn't already allowed. Users no longer need to manually edit the machine config before tunneling.Source changes
--address,--key-id,--keyflags)Docs changes
docs/cli/reference.md: Updatedmachines part tunnelsection with new description, two example commands (default and direct), and three new optional flags in the argument table. Removed the incorrect claim that ports must be manually configured.docs/fleet/system-settings.md: Updated tunneling section to note that the CLI auto-adds ports. Added a direct-tunneling CLI example.docs/cli/manage-your-fleet.md: Added auto-config note and direct-tunneling example to the "Create a tunnel" section.How I found these
