The pepd utility requires a PDP that has implemented the above RFCs and drafts. Until all draft standards are approved, the certain COPS-PR data types will not be assigned OIDs. pepd uses non-standard OIDs for the unassigned values.

Using pepd

The pepd utility works by connection to a PDP, informing the PDP of its roles, and installing any rules that the PDP has for those roles. Configuration information should be specified in a configuration file, specified on the command line with the –f option.

pepd –f <full_path_and_filename>

A sample configuration file is listed below:

PDP address: 10.0.0.11

PDP port: 3288

PEPID: some-id

Role-If: a zre1,zre2,zre3,zre4

where,

PDP address: The IP address of the PDP. Default is loopback (127.0.0.1)

PDP port: The destination port on which to open a COPS connection. Default is 3288.

PEPID: The PEP Identifier

Role-If: A mapping of roles to interfaces. The name of the role is followed by a comma- delineated list of interfaces. Multiple role-interface mappings are defined through multiple Role- If declarations.
