Description
The default configuration file for the Address Allocation
Server (AAS) is /etc/aasd.conf.
The file has a text-based, line-oriented format, and is
composed of lines containing keyword-value pairs
that set server parameters, and address pool definitions.
Each line of the configuration file must be no more than 1023
characters in length, including the newline character.
There is no facility for line continuation.
Spaces or tabs are required between lexical elements, and may be used at
the beginning and end of lines arbitrarily.
Blank lines may appear anywhere.
Comments are denoted by a ``#'' preceded by a space or tab or the
beginning of a line.
Everything from the ``#'' to the end of the line is ignored.
Server parameter settings
The Address Allocation Server supports several operating parameters that can
be set in the configuration file using keyword-value pairs.
The defined keywords are described below.
database_dir-
Absolute path
Directory in which the address
server stores and looks for the live database file.
max_db_size-
The size in bytes at which the server will automatically compress the
database. The value must be an integer, optionally followed by k
or K to multiply by 1024, or m orM to
multiply by 1048576.
checkpoint_dir-
An absolute pathname that defines the directory in which the
server stores checkpoint files.
checkpoint_intvl-
The interval in seconds between checkpoints. The value must be an integer.
num_checkpoints-
The number of most recent checkpoint files to save.
password-
Password used for authentication on a network connection.
There can be any number of passwords defined, each of which is a
valid password. The value must be a string, an must not contain any
quote marks.
Address pool definitions
The pool keyword defines an address pool with name
name of type address_type.
Currently, the Address Allocation Server only supports the
INET address type for IPv4 addresses.
Each pool can define individual addresses or
address ranges separated by spaces or tabs.
An address range is specified by two addresses
separated by only a dash (no spaces or tabs).
The following is an example pool definition:
pool subnet35:INET {
152.122.35.48
152.122.35.60
152.122.35.64-152.122.35.95
152.122.35.128-152.122.35.191
}
