A.7 Tracing Options
recv Limits the tracing to packets received. If neither the send nor
the
recv option is specified, both sent and received packets are
traced.
Note
If a protocol allows several different types of packet tracing, modifiers can
be applied to each individual type. Be aware, however, that within one
tracing specification the trace flags are summed up, so specifying detail
packets turns on full tracing for all packets.
A.8 Directive Statements
Directive statements provide direction to the GATED configuration language
parser about included files and the directories in which these files reside.
Directive statements are immediately acted upon by the parser. Other statements
terminate with a semicolon (;), but directive statements terminate with a new
line. The two directive statements are as follows:
•
%directory directory
Defines the directory in which the include files are stored. When it is used,
GATED searches the directory identified by path name for any included
files that do not have a fully qualified file name (do not begin with "/"). This
statement does not change the current directory; it only specifies the prefix
applied to included file names.
•
%include filename
Identifies an include file. The contents of the file is included in the
TCPIP$GATED.CONF file at the point where the
%include directive is
located. If the file name is not fully qualified (does not begin with backslash
(/), it is considered to be relative to the directory defined in the %directory
directive. The %include directive statement causes the specified file to be
parsed completely before resuming with this file. Nesting up to ten levels
is supported. The maximum nesting level can be increased by changing the
definition of FI_MAX in the
parse.h file.
In a complex environment, segmenting a large configuration into smaller, more
easily understood segments might be helpful, but one of the advantages of
GATED is that it combines the configuration of several different routing protocols
into a single file. Segmenting a small file unnecessarily complicates routing
configurations.
A.9 Options Statements
The options statement allows specification of some global options. If used,
options must appear before any other type of configuration statement in the
TCPIP$GATED.CONF file.
The syntax for the options statement is as follows:
options
[nosend]
[noresolv]
[gendefault [preference preference] [gateway gateway]]
[mark time]
