# Command: agent
The agent command is the heart of Nomad: it runs the agent that handles client
or server functionality, including exposing interfaces for client consumption
and running jobs.
Due to the power and flexibility of this command, the Nomad agent is documented
in its own section. See the [Nomad Agent](/docs/agent/index.html) section for
more information on how to use this command and the options it has.
## Command-line Options
A subset of the available Nomad agent configuration can optionally be passed in
via CLI arguments. The `agent` command accepts the following arguments:
* `-alloc-dir=<path>`: Equivalent to the Client [alloc_dir](#alloc_dir) config
option.
* `-atlas=<infrastructure>`: Equivalent to the Atlas
[infrastructure](#infrastructure) config option.
* `-atlas-join`: Equivalent to the Atlas [join](#join) config option.
* `-atlas-token=<token>`: Equivalent to the Atlas [token](#token) config option.
* `-bind=<address>`: Equivalent to the [bind_addr](#bind_addr) config option.
* `-bootstrap-expect=<num>`: Equivalent to the
[bootstrap_expect](#bootstrap_expect) config option.
* `-client`: Enable client mode on the local agent.
* `-config=<path>`: Specifies the path to a configuration file or a directory of
configuration files to load. Can be specified multiple times.
* `-data-dir=<path>`: Equivalent to the [data_dir](#data_dir) config option.
* `-dc=<datacenter>`: Equivalent to the [datacenter](#datacenter) config option.
* `-dev`: Start the agent in development mode. This enables a pre-configured
dual-role agent (client + server) which is useful for developing or testing
Nomad. No other configuration is required to start the agent in this mode.
* `-join=<address>`: Address of another agent to join upon starting up. This can
be specified multiple times to specify multiple agents to join.
* `-log-level=<level>`: Equivalent to the [log_level](#log_level) config option.
* `-meta=<key=value>`: Equivalent to the Client [meta](#meta) config option.
* `-network-interface=<interface>`: Equivalent to the Client
[network_interface](#network_interface) config option.
* `-network-speed=<MBits>`: Equivalent to the Client
[network_speed](#network_speed) config option.
* `-node=<name>`: Equivalent to the [name](#name) config option.
* `-node-class=<class>`: Equivalent to the Client [node_class](#node_class)
config option.
* `-region=<region>`: Equivalent to the [region](#region) config option.
* `-rejoin`: Equivalent to the [rejoin_after_leave](#rejoin_after_leave) config option.
* `-retry-interval`: Equivalent to the [retry_interval](#retry_interval) config option.
* `-retry-join`: Similar to `-join` but allows retrying a join if the first attempt fails.
* `-retry-max`: Similar to the [retry_max](#retry_max) config option.
* `-server`: Enable server mode on the local agent.
* `-servers=<host:port>`: Equivalent to the Client [servers](#servers) config
option.
* `-state-dir=<path>`: Equivalent to the Client [state_dir](#state_dir) config
option.
* `-vault-enabled`: Whether to enable or disabled Vault integration.
* `-vault-address=<addr>`: The address to communicate with Vault.
* `-vault-token=<token>`: The Vault token used to derive tokens. Only needs to
be set on Servers. Overrides the Vault token read from the VAULT_TOKEN
environment variable.
* `-vault-create-from-role=<role>`: The role name to create tokens for tasks from.
* `-vault-ca-file=<path>`: Path to a PEM-encoded CA cert file used to verify the
Vault server SSL certificate.
* `-vault-ca-path=<path>`: Path to a directory of PEM-encoded CA cert files used
to verify the Vault server SSL certificate.Whether to enable or disabled Vault
integration.
* `vault-cert-file=<path>`: The path to the certificate for Vault communication.
* `vault-key-file=<path>`: The path to the private key for Vault communication.
* `vault-tls-skip-verify`: A boolean that determines whether to skip SSL
certificate verification.
* `vault-tls-server-name=<name>`: Used to set the SNI host when connecting to
Vault over TLS.
