NAME¶
ipnadmin - Interplanetary Internet (IPN) scheme administration interface
SYNOPSIS¶
ipnadmin [
commands_filename ]
DESCRIPTION¶
ipnadmin configures the local ION node's routing of bundles to endpoints
whose IDs conform to the
ipn endpoint ID scheme.
ipn is a
CBHE-conformant scheme; that is, every endpoint ID in the
ipn scheme is
a string of the form "ipn:
node_number.
service_number"
where
node_number is a CBHE "node number" and
service_number identifies a specific application processing point.
ipnadmin operates in response to IPN scheme configuration commands found
in the file
commands_filename, if provided; if not,
ipnadmin
prints a simple prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into
standard input.
The format of commands for
commands_filename can be queried from
ipnadmin with the 'h' or '?' commands at the prompt. The commands are
documented in
ipnrc(5).
EXIT STATUS¶
- "0" Successful completion of IPN scheme administration.
- "1" Unsuccessful completion of IPN scheme administration, due to
inability to attach to the Bundle Protocol system or to initialize the IPN
scheme.
EXAMPLES¶
- ipnadmin
- Enter interactive IPN scheme configuration command entry mode.
- ipnadmin host1.ipnrc
- Execute all configuration commands in host1.ipnrc, then terminate
immediately.
FILES¶
See
ipnrc(5) for details of the IPN scheme configuration commands.
ENVIRONMENT¶
No environment variables apply.
DIAGNOSTICS¶
Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be
lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the ipnrc file on a
Windows machine, be sure to
use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text
format before presenting it to
ipnadmin. Otherwise
ipnadmin
will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily.
The following diagnostics may be issued to the logfile ion.log:
- ipnadmin can't attach to BP.
- Bundle Protocol has not been initialized on this computer. You need to run
bpadmin(1) first.
- ipnadmin can't initialize routing database.
- There is no SDR data store for ipnadmin to use. Please run
ionadmin(1) to start the local ION node.
- Can't open command file...
- The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't
exist.
Various errors that don't cause
ipnadmin to fail but are noted in the
ion.log log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given
at the prompt or in the
commands_filename file. Please see
ipnrc(5) for details.
