SCTP Administrator's Guide

Example 2-10 Setting the SCTP_ARGS Variable
To configure the autotimer for an interface and to enable debugging for sctpd
application, set the SCTP_ARGS variable in the /etc/rc.conf/sctprcconf file, as
follows:
SCTP_ARGS="-d –t 60"
where:
-d Enables debugging for the sctpd application.
-t 60
Sets the autotimer to 60 seconds to poll for a new interface.
NOTE: By default, the –t and –d options are defined in the SCTP_ARGS variable,
and the –t option is set to 60 seconds. You can modify the value of the –t option to
set a different autotimer for an interface.
If you modify the /etc/rc.conf/sctprcconf file, HP recommends that the you
use the /sbin/init.d/sctprc script to start or stop the stcpd application. By
default, the /sbin/init.d/sctprc script is executed while installing the SCTP
product and after rebooting the system.
