NAME

       ax25ipd.conf - Control the operation of ax25ipd.

DESCRIPTION

       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
