A.2 Configuration File Statement Syntax
• The C-style comments that start with /* and end with */
Note
In a GATED configuration file, statements end with a semicolon (;). Do
not use a semicolon as a comment character in your configuration file.
Anything following a semicolon is interpreted as the start of the next
statement.
A.3 Statement Grouping
The configuration file consists of statements grouped in the following order:
1. Options statements
2. Interface statements
3. Definition statements
4. Protocol statements
5. Static statements
6. Control statements
7. Aggregate statements
Note
Entering a statement out of order causes an error when parsing the
configuration file.
The following statements do not fit in the above categories:
• %directive statements
• %trace statements
These statements provide instructions to the parser, and control tracing from the
configuration file. They do not control the configuration of any protocol and may
occur anywhere in the configuration file.
