ax25ipd.conf (5)

The ax25ipd.conf file controls the operation of the ax25ipd(8) program. The operation of the config file can best be seen in an example:

#

# ax25ipd configuration file for station floyd.vk5xxx.ampr.org

#

# Select axip transport. 'ip' is what you want for compatibility

# with most other gates ...

#

socket ip

#

# Set ax25ipd mode of operation. (digi or tnc)

#

mode tnc

#

# If you selected digi, you must define a callsign. If you selected

# tnc mode, the callsign is currently optional, but this may change

# in the future! (2 calls if using dual port kiss)

#

# mycall vk5xxx-4

# mycall2 vk5xxx-5

#

# In digi mode, you may use an alias. (2 for dual port)

#

# myalias svwdns

# myalias2 svwdn2

#

# Send an ident every 540 seconds ...

#

# beacon after 540

# btext ax25ip -- tncmode rob/vk5xxx -- Experimental AXIP gateway

#

# Serial port, ethertap interface, or pipe connected to a kissattach in my case

# alternatively, if you have the kernel module bpqether:

# if you use tun/tap or ethertap instead of kissattach you may say, without

# leading slashes (!! - that's how ax25ipd consideres using the tty kiss

# driver or tun/tap or ethertap):

# with tun/tap:

# device foobar

# with ethertap (obsolete):

# device tap0

# make sure you set a mycall above, or say axparms foobar -setcall te1st

# note: the device will be up when you assign an ip address

# _after_ starting ax25rtd (which initializes the device), start ax25d

# with bpqether or pty, you do not need to care about the speed

# tun/tap: as descriped in /usr/src/linux/Documentatioa/networking/tuntap.txt,

# make a device # like this:

# crw-r--r-- 1 root root 10, 200 Nov 26 13:32 tun

# with the command mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

# As serial port, you could assign physical ports like ttyS0 or ptys.

# ax25ipd supports BSD-style pseudo-terminals as well as the Unix98 pty's.

# If the tty argument is "/dev/ptmx", then Unix98 behaviour

# will automatically take effect. With Unix98 pty's, the slave tty name

# could not be forseen. That's why ax25ipd will print the corresponding

# slave pty name as a separate line on stdout.

#

#device ampr

device /dev/ttyp0

#

# Set the device speed

#

speed 9600

#

# loglevel 0 - no output

# loglevel 1 - config info only

# loglevel 2 - major events and errors

# loglevel 3 - major events, errors, and AX25 frame trace

# loglevel 4 - all events

# log 0 for the moment, syslog not working yet ...

#

loglevel 4

#

# If we are in digi mode, we might have a real tnc here, so use param to

# set the tnc parameters ...

#

# param 1 20

#

# Broadcast Address definition. Any of the addresses listed will be forwarded

# to any of the routes flagged as broadcast capable routes.

#

broadcast QST-0 NODES-0

#

# ax.25 route definition, define as many as you need.

# format is route (call/wildcard) (ip host at destination)

# ssid of 0 routes all ssid's

#

# route <destcall> <destaddr> [flags]

#

# Valid flags are:

# b - allow broadcasts to be transmitted via this route

# d - this route is the default route

#

route vk2sut-0 44.136.8.68 b

route vk5asf 44.136.188.221 b

route vk2abc 44.1.1.1 d
