150APPENDIX E: AUTOMATIC ATTRIBUTE ASSIGNMENT

attribute lookup programs which depend on the Name, NL Type, NL Address, Network or DNS attributes.

Run the program AttrLooktest.exe in

<installdir>TraffixServer (this is not on the Windows Start Menu). The program displays a dialog box which allows you to run an attribute lookup program, providing command-line parameters if necessary. Thus you can run your own program, or you can run one of the standard programs (dblookup or fileattrs) providing your datafile as an argument. (Note that the user-defined attribute program configuration file is not used.)

If your program is working properly, then a dialog box appears which allows you lookup attributes for any device you choose. Set the Name, NL Type, NL Address, and Network controls on the dialog to appropriate values for some device and then click Lookup. The list on the right of the dialog box shows the attributes returned by your lookup program. The program does not check that the attributes which you enter make sense.

The program only passes the attributes Name, NL Type, NL Address, and Network to your program. If you choose IP as the NL Type then the program simulates DNS attributes by breaking up the Name attribute which you have entered.
