4.4. Pre-configured Exchanges
Out of the box, the Red Hat Enterprise Messaging broker has five pre-configured exchanges that you can use for messaging. These exchanges are all configured as durable, so they are available whenever the broker is started:
- Default exchange
- A nameless direct exchange. All queues are bound to this exchange by default, allowing them to be accessed by queue name.
amq.direct- The pre-configured named direct exchange.
amq.fanout- The pre-configured fanout exchange.
amq.match- The pre-configured headers exchange.
amq.topic- The pre-configured topic exchange.
