Technical data
3. Base configuration
are set to ‘yes’, you need to fill this variable with a valid DNS server address as otherwise
no DNS resolution will be possible directly after the router has booted.
Exception: If you use fli4l as a local router without a connection to the Internet or other
(company) networks with DNS servers, you should set this variable to ‘127.0.0.1’ in order
to disable DNS forwarding completely.
HOSTNAME_IP (optional)
This variable can optionally specify to which network ’IP_NET_x’ the hostname set by
HOSTNAME is bound.
HOSTNAME_ALIAS_N (optional)
Number of additional alias host names for the router.
HOSTNAME_ALIAS_x (optional)
Additional alias host name for the router.
3.12. imond configuration
START_IMOND Default setting: START_IMOND=’no’
START_IMOND controls whether to start the imond server or not. The imond server is re-
sponsible for monitoring/controlling the fli4l router and for the so-called least cost rout-
ing. You can find a detailed description of the Client/Server interface imond (Page 265)
in a separate appendix.
Important: The least cost routing funtionality of fli4l can only be used when imond is
running. Time-based switching of connections is impossible without imond!
Starting with version 1.5, imond is mandatory for ISDN and DSL routing. In this case
you have to set START_IMOND=’yes’. If you use fli4l as a router between LANs only, you
should set START_IMOND=’no’.
IMOND_PORT The TCP/IP port where imond should wait for connections. You shouldn’t
change the default value ‘5000’ unless in very exceptional cases.
IMOND_PASS Default setting: IMOND_PASS=”
This variable can be used to set a user password for imond. If a client connects to imond
at port 5000, imond expects the client to provide this password before processing any
requests, with the exception of the commands “quit”, “help”, and “pass”. If you leave
IMOND_PASS empty, no password is necessary.
