HP-UX CMGR A.02.00 Administrator's and Developer's Guide

ipfilter handler checks the operation option from the cmgr command and performs

one of the following tasks:

DescriptionOperation

Adds concatenated data child elements to the beginning of the IPFilter

configuration file.

NOTE: You must include meta-tags around the configuration data to

be added. See Section 3.2.8 for more information on meta-tags.

add

Searches the IPFilter configuration file for the first block of data with

the exact matching open and close comment meta-tag as specified in

the concatenated child data elements. If a match is found, the comment

meta-tags, and all data between are deleted.

delete

Performs the equivalent of a delete followed by an add operation,

with the exception that the new data will be placed in the same location

in the IPFilter configuration file.

replace

Searches the IPFilter configuration file for matching meta-tags. If a match

is found, displays the entire meta-tag string. If used with the –verbose

option, cmgr displays the entire content of the meta-tag data.

list

Upon successful completion of the add, delete, or replace operation, cmgr validates

the IPFilter configuration file with the following command:

ipf -n -f ipfilterfile

If the validation succeeds, cmgr notifies ipfilter to reload its configuration with the

following command:

ipf -Fa -f ipfilterfile

NOTE: The ipfilter handler processes a temporary copy of the IPFilter

configuration file. If the ipfilter handler returns an error, the contents of the IPFilter

configuration file will be unchanged from its original state.
