down preference preference
Sets the preference for routes to this interface when GateD does not believe it to be func-
tioning properly, but the kernel does not indicate it is down. The default value is 120.
passive
Prevents GateD from changing the preference of the route to this interface if it is not
believed to be functioning properly due to lack of received routing information. GateD will
only perform this check if the interface is actively participating in a routing protocol.
simplex
Defines an interface as unable to hear its own broadcast packets. Some systems define an
interface as simplex with the IFF_SIMPLEX flag, on others it needs to be specified in the
configuration file. On simplex interfaces, packets from myself are assumed to have been
looped back in software and are not used as an indication that the interface is functioning
properly.
reject
Specifies that the address of the interface which matches these criteria will be used as the
local address when installing reject routes in the kernel. Should only be used with systems
based on BSD 4.3 Tahoe or earlier which have installed a reject/blackhole pseudo interface.
blackhole
Specifies that the address of the interface which matches these criteria will be used as the
local address when installing reject routes in the kernel. Should only be used with systems
based on BSD 4.3 Tahoe or earlier which have installed a reject/blackhole pseudo interface.
alias primary address
Specifies a primary address for this interface. This option overrides the address that GateD
determines to be primary.
aliases-nh ( primary | lowestip | keepall )
Specifies which address GateD will install as the next hop for the route associated with this
interface when multiple adresses are assigned to an interface like the Service Guard
environment. If primary is used, the primary interface address (default) will be installed. If
lowestip is used, the address with the lowest IP address will be installed. If keepall is used,
all interface routes are kept in the kernel up to a maximum of RT_N_MULTIPATH routes.
This is a compile-time constant. This parameter overrides the global option for this inter-
face.
define address
Defines interfaces that might not be present when GateD is started so they may be referenced in
the configuration file when strictinterfaces is defined. Possible define keywords are:
broadcast address
Defines the interface as broadcast capable (Ethernet or Token Ring) and specifies the broad-
cast address.
pointtopoint address
Defines the interface as a point-to-point interface (SLIP or PPP) and specifies the address
on the local side. The first address on the define statement references the address of the
host on the remote end of the interface, the address specified after this pointtopoint
keyword defines the address on the local side of the interface.
An interface not defined as broadcast or point-to-point is assumed to be non-broadcast multiac-
cess (NBMA), such as an X.25 network.
netmask mask
Specifies the subnetmask to be used on this interface. This is ignored on pointtopoint inter-
faces.
multicast
Specifies that the interface is multicast capable.
Interface lists
An interface list is a list of references to interfaces or groups of interfaces. There are four methods available
for referring to interfaces. They are listed here from most general to most specific.
all This refers to all availableinterfaces.
