Setting Configuration Values
Value | Default Value | Description |
|
|
|
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 |
|
| 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 |
|
| from the /home/tftpdir directory on |
|
| However, if a path is specified on the command line, the full |
|
| path to the TFTP configuration file must be used. |
