To get a connection between the hawtio console 'Dispatch Router' and a qpid router you need to a listener statement into
/etc/qpid-dispatch/qdrouterd.conf

hawtio console access

listener {
name: consoleListener
host: 0.0.0.0
port: 5673
http: true
authenticatePeer: no
saslMechanisms: ANONYMOUS
}

this will proxy between qpid and hawtio.

thanks to Bruno Meseguer and Hugo Guerrero on the sme-integration list who helped me to get the configuration right.
