Enabling PPP Dial-In | Apple Mac OS X Server specs

248

For example, your secondary server may perform other services on the network, such as running a statistical analysis application and distributed image processing software. A pre acquisition script quits the running applications to free up the CPU for the Web server. A post acquisition script starts the Web server. Once the primary server is up and running again, a pre relinquish script quits the Web server, and a post relinquish script starts the image processing and statistical analysis applications. The sequence of scripted events might look like this:

<Failover condition detected> Test (if present) PreAcq10.StopDIP PreAcq20.StopSA PreAcq30.CleanupTmp <Acquire IP address> PostAcq10.StartTimer PostAcq20.StartApache

<Primary server returns to service> PreRel10.StopApache PreRel20.StopTimer

<Relinquish IP address> PostRel10.StartSA PostRel20.StartDIP PostRel30.MailTimerResultsToAdmin

Enabling PPP Dial-In

You can use the pppd daemon to set up Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) dial-in service. See the pppd man page for more information.

The “Examples” section of the man page shows an example of setting up dial-in service.

Restoring the Default Configuration for Server Services

When you use applications such as Server Admin to configure a Mac OS X Server service, your settings are stored in places such as a configuration file (.conf), a preference list (.plist), an XML file, or the NetInfo database. In certain cases, you might want to reset a service back to its default settings, which can be done by simply renaming or deleting a service’s configuration file. Mac OS X Server will then create a fresh default copy of the file.

To restore the NAT service to its default configuration:

Rename or delete the natd.plist file located in the /etc/nat/ folder.

To restore the Firewall service to its default configuration:

Rename or delete the ip_address_groups.plist, standard_services.plist, and ipfw.conf files located in the /etc/ipfilter/ folder.
