.TH AX25IPD.CONF 5 "7 July 1997" Linux "Linux Programmer's Manual"
.SH NAME
ax25ipd.conf \- Control the operation of @@@ax25ipd@@@.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The
.B ax25ipd.conf
file controls the operation of the @@@ax25ipd@@@(8) program. The operation of the
config file can best be seen in an example:
.LP
#
.br
# @@@ax25ipd@@@ configuration file for station floyd.vk5xxx.ampr.org
.br
#
.br
# Select axip transport. 'ip' is what you want for compatibility
.br
# with most other gates ...
.br
#
.br
socket ip
.br
#
.br
# Set @@@ax25ipd@@@ mode of operation. (digi or tnc)
.br
#
.br
mode tnc
.br
#
.br
# If you selected digi, you must define a callsign.  If you selected
.br
# tnc mode, the callsign is currently optional, but this may change
.br
# in the future! (2 calls if using dual port kiss)
.br
#
.br
# mycall vk5xxx-4
.br
# mycall2 vk5xxx-5
.br
#
.br
# In digi mode, you may use an alias. (2 for dual port)
.br
#
.br
# myalias svwdns
.br
# myalias2 svwdn2
.br
#
.br
# Send an ident every 540 seconds ...
.br
#
.br
# beacon after 540
.br
# btext ax25ip -- tncmode rob/vk5xxx -- Experimental AXIP gateway
.br
#
.br
# Serial port, ethertap interface, or pipe connected to a kissattach in my case
.br
# alternatively, if you have the kernel module bpqether:
.br
# if you use tun/tap or ethertap instead of kissattach you may say, without
.br
# leading slashes (!! - that's how @@@ax25ipd@@@ consideres using the tty kiss
.br
# driver or tun/tap or ethertap):
.br
#   with tun/tap:
.br
#     device foobar
.br
#   with ethertap (obsolete):
.br
#     device tap0
.br
# make sure you set a mycall above, or say axparms foobar -setcall te1st
.br
# note: the device will be up when you assign an ip address
.br
# _after_ starting ax25rtd (which initializes the device), start ax25d
.br
# with bpqether or pty, you do not need to care about the speed
.br
# tun/tap: as descriped in /usr/src/linux/Documentatioa/networking/tuntap.txt,
.br
# make a device # like this:
.br
#   crw-r--r--    1 root     root      10, 200 Nov 26 13:32 tun
.br
# with the command mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
.br
# As serial port, you could assign physical ports like ttyS0 or ptys.
.br
# @@@ax25ipd@@@ supports BSD-style pseudo-terminals as well as the Unix98 pty's.
.br
# If the tty argument is "/dev/ptmx", then Unix98 behaviour
.br
# will automaticaly take effekt. With Unix98 pty's, the slave tty name
.br
# could not be forseen. That's why @@@ax25ipd@@@ will print the corresponding
.br
# slave pty name as a separate line on stdout.
.br
#
.br
#device ampr
.br
device /dev/ttyp0
.br
#
.br
# Set the device speed
.br
#
.br
speed 9600
.br
#
.br
# loglevel 0 - no output
.br
# loglevel 1 - config info only
.br
# loglevel 2 - major events and errors
.br
# loglevel 3 - major events, errors, and AX25 frame trace
.br
# loglevel 4 - all events
.br
# log 0 for the moment, syslog not working yet ...
.br
#
.br
loglevel 4
.br
#
.br
# If we are in digi mode, we might have a real tnc here, so use param to
.br
# set the tnc parameters ...
.br
#
.br
# param 1 20
.br
#
.br
# Broadcast Address definition. Any of the addresses listed will be forwarded
.br
# to any of the routes flagged as broadcast capable routes.
.br
#
.br
broadcast QST-0 NODES-0
.br
#
.br
# ax.25 route definition, define as many as you need.
.br
# format is route (call/wildcard) (ip host at destination)
.br
# ssid of 0 routes all ssid's
.br
#
.br
# route <destcall> <destaddr> [flags]
.br
#
.br
# Valid flags are:
.br
#         b  - allow broadcasts to be transmitted via this route
.br
#         d  - this route is the default route
.br
#
.br
route vk2sut-0 44.136.8.68 b
.br
route vk5asf 44.136.188.221 b
.br
