NAME

       ax25rtd.conf - ax25 routing daemon configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ax25/ax25rtd.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The  file /etc/ax25/ax25rtd.conf is the configuration file for ax25rtd.
       The parameters of the options shown here are the default values  except
       the ones marked with (example)

       ax25-maxroutes 256

       ip-maxroutes   256
              The  maximum  size  of  the  three  lists / caches. On overflow,
              ax25rtd will substitute the oldest entry with the new one.

       [1k2]
              This marks the beginning of per-port definitions. Note that  you
              have  to  use port names as defined in axports(5) here, anywhere
              else you may use the port or the device name.

       ax25-learn-routes no
              Set this to "yes", ax25rtd will add the routing information  for
              every  heard frame (with complete digipeater path) to the kernel
              AX.25 routing table. Note that ax25rtd’s internal cache will  be
              updated anyway, regardless of this option.

       ax25-learn-only-mine no
              If  you  set  it  to "yes", only frames that are sent to (1) the
              interface callsign, (2) any of the listeners on this device,  or
              (3) the callsigns specified by ax25-more-mycalls will be used to
              update the internal cache and (depending  on  ax25-learn-routes)
              the kernel routing table.

       ax25-add-path db0ach     (example)
              This  is  useful  on  DAMA  digipeaters.  In this case, the DAMA
              master has to be used for _every_ AX.25 connection, thus ax25rtd
              will add this digipeater(s) to every target we learn that has no
              digipeater path (yet). "db0ach" is just an example here.

       ax25-more-mycalls dl1bke dl1bke-8  (example)
              You can specify more calls as calls here  that  belong  to  this
              interface... "dl1bke" and "dl1bke-8" are examples.

       ip-learn-routes no
              If  set to "yes", ax25rtd will modify the IP routing table if it
              receives an IP frame (directed to us). This is dangerous!

              It should not screw  up  your  routing  table,  though.  Ax25rtd
              recognizes  the  netmask of the device and will adjust the route
              only if it fits the netmask and the old route points to  one  of
              the devices ax25rtd knows about (hence an AX.25 device).

              The  problems begin if you have more than one port and a user is
              able to hear your outgoing traffic on at least two of them.  Due
              to  technical  reasons  ax25rtd  adjusts  the  route _after_ the
              kernel has sent the reply to the  received  TCP  frame  already.
              This has technical reasons.

              If  the  remote does the same both are switching between the two
              ports.

              Don’t use this feature unless you know what you are doing.

              It _should_  be  safe  do  enable  this  on  one-port  machines,
              although  I  strongly  recommend to set a network route instead,
              i.e.:

                      route add -net 44.0.0.0 scc3

              Note that ax25rtd’s  internal  cache  will  be  updated  anyway,
              regardless of this option.

       irtt <irtt>
              If  ip-learn-routes  is  enabled  this  will  assign newly added
              routes an initial round trip time  (IRTT)  for  TCP.  <irtt>  is
              measured in msec, hence

                      irtt 10000

              sets  the irtt to 10 seconds. A value of 0 disables this feature
              (default).

       ip-adjust-mode no
              If you set this option to  "yes"  ax25rtd  will  change  the  IP
              encapsulation mode according to the last received IP frame.

              The  problem  with  this option is that the kernel AX.25 sends a
              received IP frame to the IP layer regardless if it was  sent  in
              UI  frame  encapsulation  "mode  datagram  (dg)"  or  in I frame
              encaps, hence in an  AX.25  connection,  "mode  virtual  connect
              (vc)".  The  Linux  kernel  will  respond  to  this frame before
              ax25rtd can adjust the mode. If the remote does the same...  You
              get the picture.

              Don’t use this feature unless you know what you are doing.

       arp-add   no
              This  option,  if  set  to  "yes",  changes the ARP table to the
              source callsign of the received frame. It  should  be  harmless,
              just has the the effect that if it is a new entry, the Linux ARP
              code will send one ARP request before ax25rtd has adjust the ARP
              table.  If  there  was already an existing ARP entry for this IP
              route, one IP datagram will be sent  to  the  old  address.  Not
              really a problem, I hope.
