IPLINK

Command

IPLINK -- Display / Set Port IPLINK Address.

Synopsis

IPL[ink] <port> [ipaddress | hostname]

Description

The IPLINK command allows the specified port's IPLINK address to be displayed and changed.

IPLINK is the AXIP or AXUDP link partner's IP address or hostname.

It is usually specified within a PORT configuration block in the XROUTER.CFG file, but since partner sysops sometimes change their IP address or hostname, this command allows it to be changed on the fly, without needing to take XRPi off line.

Options

If a single numeric argument is supplied, and it is a valid port number, the current IPLINK value for that port, is displayed, along with the equivalent IP address.

If two arguments are supplied, the first must specify a valid port number and the second specifies a new IPLINK address for that port.

If a hostname is specified, the IP address displayed in brackets may still show the old value until a frame is sent to, or received from the peer.

Examples

IPLINK 16                 - Display current IPLINK for port 16
IPLINK 16 g8pzt.ath.cx    - Set port 16 IPLINK to g8pzt.ath.cx

Availability

Sysop-only.
