NAME¶
atalkd.conf - Configuration file used by atalkd(8) to configure the interfaces used by AppleTalk
DESCRIPTION¶
atalkd.conf is the configuration file used by atalkd to configure the Appletalk interfaces and their behavior
Any line not prefixed with # is interpreted. Each interface has be configured on an uninterrupted line, with no support for split lines. The configuration line format is:
interface [ -seed ] [ -phase number ] [ -net net-range ] [ -addr address ] [ -zone zonename ] ...
The simplest case is to have either no atalkd.conf, or to have one that has no active lines. In this case, atalkd will auto-discover the local interfaces on the machine and write to the atalkd.conf file, creating it if one does not exist.
The interface is the network interface that this to work over, such as eth0 for Linux, or le0 for Solaris.
Note that all fields except the interface are optional. The loopback interface is configured automatically. If -seed is specified, all other fields must be present. Also, atalkd will exit during startup if a router disagrees with its seed information. If -seed is not given, all other information may be overridden during auto-configuration. If no -phase option is given, the default phase as given on the command line is used (the default is 2). If -addr is given and -net is not, a net-range of one is assumed.
The first -zone directive for each interface is the ``default'' zone. Under Phase 1, there is only one zone. Under Phase 2, all routers on the network are configured with the default zone and must agree. atalkd maps ``*'' to the default zone of the first interface. Note: The default zone for a machine is determined by the configuration of the local routers; to appear in a non-default zone, each service, e.g. afpd, must individually specify the desired zone. See also nbp_name(3).
The possible options and their meanings are:
-addr net.node
-dontroute
-net first[-last]
-phase ( 1 | 2 )
-router
-seed
-zone zonename
EXAMPLES¶
Single interface on Solaris with auto-detected parameters.
le0
The same on Linux.
eth0
Below is an example configuration file from a Sun 4/40. The machine has two interfaces, ``le0'' and ``le1''. The ``le0'' interface is configured automatically from other routers on the network. The machine is the only router for the ``le1'' interface.
le0
le1 -seed -net 9461-9471 -zone netatalk -zone Argus
