NAME¶
polygraph-aka - IP aliases manipulation tool
SYNOPSIS¶
aka [
--option ...] [
interface_name] [
alias] ...
DESCRIPTION¶
Aka is used to setup large number of aliases during Polygraph experiments with
many robots and servers.
The aliases option specifies what alias or aliases you want to have on the given
interface. Aka recognizes IP addresses in PGL address format, including dotted
IP range. Aka will try to guess the subnet or you can use an explicit subnet
specification.
The number of aliases you can set depends on your OS. Moreover, some OSes may
support large number of aliases (more than 1000) but with a significant
performance penalty.
Note that you can just put alias specs after all other options and the interface
name (see aka's usage line).
Aka will delete all old aliases before setting new ones. If you do not specify
the new aliases, the old ones will still be deleted (handy for cleaning up
after yourself).
