.SH NAME
|
|
ipx_ticks \- Configuration file for ipxd
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B /etc/ipx_ticks
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B ipx_ticks
|
|
file contains the configuration information required by ipxd, the IPX
|
|
RIP/SAP daemon.
|
|
|
|
The RIP/SAP daemon can find out nearly all information it needs to run
|
|
properly by scanning the file /proc/net/ipx_interfaces, and by asking
|
|
other routers and servers on the net. The only information it can not
|
|
get this way is the time it takes to send a packet over the different
|
|
interfaces. This information is required by the IPX RIP protocol. It
|
|
is specified in so-called ticks, which is about 55 ms per tick.
|
|
|
|
The format of this file is very simple. On each line of the file the
|
|
tick value for a physical interface is specified. The first field is
|
|
the name of the interface, and the ticks value follows after a
|
|
white-space. Empty lines as well as lines starting with '#' are
|
|
ignored. A possible example is the following:
|
|
|
|
# Tick values for IPX interfaces
|
|
#
|
|
# device name ticks value
|
|
eth0 1
|
|
ppp0 7
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default ticks value for devices not specified in /etc/ipx_ticks is
|
|
1.
