.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I aarpd
|
|
implements the AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol for CAP programs using
|
|
Native EtherTalk (Phase 1 or Phase 2). It communicates with CAP processes
|
|
using RPC (Remote Procedure Calls) which interrogate a central AARP table.
|
|
Addresses that are not currently available provoke AARP lookups on the
|
|
network. These are added to the AARP table whose contents are aged and
|
|
deleted at intervals.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I aarpd
|
|
maintains the address of the current default router. This is obtained
|
|
from
|
|
.I atis
|
|
which is listening to RTMP packets. The default router is chosen by
|
|
counting the RTMP tuples, favouring routers that perform "split horizon".
|
|
.PP
|
|
At startup,
|
|
.I aarpd
|
|
probes for a node number, determines the network number and
|
|
maintains a copy of the network information in /etc/etalk.local which it
|
|
updates as necessary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The options
|
|
.I aarpd
|
|
accepts are:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI -d " <capflags>"
|
|
<capflags> are standard debugging flags for the
|
|
.I CAP
|
|
library. See CAP(3) for a
|
|
description of the valid flags.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI -l " <logfile>"
|
|
specifies a file that messages should be logged to.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI -D " <level>"
|
|
defines the debugging level (an integer from 1 to 20).
|
|
The higher the level is set, the more verbose
|
|
.I aarpd
|
|
is when logging.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI <interface> " <zoneName>"
|
|
defines the network interface (as listed by netstat(8)) such as ie0, le0,
|
|
ln0 or pf0. The zoneName argument is a valid zonename for the EtherTalk
|
|
connected to the interface. These values may be seeded in /etc/etalk.local
|
|
but it is recommended that both arguments be supplied.
|
|
.SH FILES

.SH NOTES
|
|
.I aarpd
|
|
be run as "root" (uid 0) and should be started before any other CAP
|
|
programs.
