PIPE

Command

PIPE -- Display / Set "frame piping" for a port.

Synopsis

PIP[e] <port> [destport]

Description

Displays the current PIPE setting for a port, and allows it to be changed. Pipes "tunnel" frames from one port to another. Exactly which frames are piped is controlled by PIPEFLAG.

If two numeric arguments are supplied, a "frame pipe" is set up from <port> to [destport], otherwise the current setting for the specified port is displayed.

If the second argument is zero, piping is disabled.

Modified settings remain in force until changed or system is restarted.

Example

PIPE 3     - Display current PIPE setting for port 3
PIPE 3 5   - Create pipe from port 3 to port 5
PIPE 3 0   - Remove pipe from port 3.

Availability

Requires SYSOP status.
