NAME

6       ax25ipd - AX.25 into IP Encapsulator
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ax25ipd [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ax25ipd  is an RFC1226 compliant daemon capable of providing the encap‐
13       sualtion neccessary to send and receive  AX.25  traffic  across  an  IP
14       transport.
15
16       Normally  invoked  as  part  of  the boot order network initialisation,
17       ax25ipd is capable of talking directly to a serial port connected  tnc,
18       or  over  a  pipe  to a linux AX.25 port. KAM DE Dual Port Kiss is also
19       supported.
20
21       ax25ipd can be run as a pure encapsulator, or  as  a  digital  repeater
22       with  a  functional  callsign.  Destination IP addresses are determined
23       from a hardcoded map of callsign/IP Address pairs.
24
25       ax25ipd defaults to using /etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf as its config file.

OPTIONS

28       -v,--version
29                 Display the version.
30
31       -h,--help Display a summary of the command line options.
32
33       -l,--loglevelNUM
34                 Set the logging level to NUM.
35
36       -c,--configfileFILE
37                 Use the configuration file  named  by  FILE  instead  of  the
38                 default.
39
40       -d,--ttydeviceTTYDEV
41                 Use  ttydevice  instead  of  the  configured.  This is useful
42                 because on systems with unix98 PTYs the device  is  allocated
43                 dynamicaly and thus the name is not predictable.
44
45       -f,--nofork
46                 Do not become a daemon. Run in foreground.
47

FILES

BUGS

55       Routing  needs  to  be  looked at seriously, the method of routing is a
56       real hack, and improvements to it have only added to the hack.
57
58       Logging needs to be properly implemented.
59
60       Command line parsing needs to be properly implemented.
61
62       ax25ipd should be part of the Linux AX.25 kernel support probably :-)
