Syslog Server

0.0.0.0

Typically, syslogd obtains its routing information from the /

Address (cont’d)

 

etc/syslog.conf configuration file, which you can edit to

 

 

specify the log file to which you want syslog messages from the

 

 

LAN/GPIB Gateway routed. See syslogd(1M) for more

 

 

information on the syslogd daemon and the syslog.conf

 

 

file.

 

 

The syslog server’s IP address is represented in dotted

 

 

decimal notation. This is not a required configuration setting.

 

 

However, setting up a syslog server and log file is

 

 

recommended, as syslog messages are helpful in

 

 

administering the LAN/GPIB Gateway and troubleshooting

 

 

problems with the Gateway.

 

 

 

TFTP File

N/A

This value is the path to an optional, TFTP configuration file.

 

 

This value is only used with the BOOTP with TFTP

 

 

configuration of the LAN/GPIB Gateway.

 

 

The TFTP file contains additional configuration values,

 

 

including LAN timeout, I/O timeout, IP allow list, GPIB address,

 

 

GPIB interface name, and/or GPIB logical unit. The maximum

 

 

length of the path to the TFTP file is 33 characters. The TFTP

 

 

file name is usually designated with a .cfg extension.

 

 

There are two modes for running TFTP: one which uses the

 

 

TFTP home directory (the default mode) and one where a path

 

 

is specified on the TFTP command line (the command line is

 

 

normally set in the /etc/inetd.conf file on both HP-UX

 

 

Versions 9 and 10.01).

 

 

If no path is specified on the command line (the default mode),

 

 

a relative path from the home directory must be used. In this

 

 

case, the path to the TFTP configuration file is relative either

 

 

from the /usr/tftpdir directory on HP-UX Version 9 or

 

 

from the /home/tftpdir directory on HP-UX Version 10.01.

 

 

However, if a path is specified on the command line, the full

 

 

path to the TFTP configuration file must be used.
