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.
