NAME

6       axparms - Configure AX.25 interfaces.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       axparms --assoc|--forward|--route|--setcall|--version ...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  axparms  command  is  designed to be a multi-function command that
13       allows miscellaneous commands to be issued to the Linux AX.25  protocol
14       layer. It includes the functionality of axassociate and axsetcall which
15       this command superceedes. The different modes of the command are chosen
16       by  the  first argument. Sunsequent arguments depend upon this argument
17       and so no generalised command format can be given.
18

--assoc Argument

20       The format of this option is:
21
22       axparms --assoc <callsign> <username>
23       axparms --assoc <callsign> delete
24       axparms --assoc policy [default|deny]
25       axparms --assoc show
26
27       This option mainpulates the kernel uid/callsign mapping table, allowing
28       callsigns  to  be associated and dis-associated with a user. The policy
29       option permits the superuser to have all other uid's either default  to
30       the actual port name, or to block traffic.
31
32       At  power  up  the table is blank and the policy is 'default', which is
33       thus backward compatible.
34

--forward Argument

36       Allows the use of many receivers with one transmitter, known as  packet
37       forwarding in many systems. The format of this command is:
38
39       axparms --forward <portfrom> <portto>
40       axparms --forward <portfrom> delete
41
42       Any  packets  to be transmitted on port portfrom will be transmitted on
43       port portto. This will stay in force until the second form of the  com‐
44       mand is issued which will remove the association.
45

--route Argument

47       This  option allows the internal AX.25 routing table to be manipulated.
48       This table is available for reading in /proc/net/ax25_route,  and  will
49       be  built  up  dynamically by stations heard. However it is possible to
50       add, delete and list entries via this option.
51
52       The formats of this option are:
53
54       axparms --route add <port> <callsign> [<digis>] [--ipmode V|D]
55       axparms --route del <port> <callsign>
56       axparms --route list
57
58       Routes added via this command will not be  removed  from  the  internal
59       routing  table  when they are “old” as normal entries are. The --ipmode
60       option sets mode vc or mode datagram for this destination.
61
62       If the <callsign> argument is set to “default” then this will  set  the
63       default  route  for  all  outgoing AX.25 connections which will be used
64       when there is no specific route to the required destination.
65

--setcall Argument

67       The format of this option is:
68
69       axparms --setcall <interface> <callsign>
70
71       This changes the callsign associated at the given physical ax25  inter‐
72       face.
73
74       Cave:  The  interface  name is not the symbolic port name from axports,
75       but the real interface name (from ifconfig(8)): ax0, ax1, .., sp0,  ..,
76       bpq0, ... etc..
77
78       The  change  is  permanent  as long as the interface exists, or another
79       “axparms --setcall” is issued.
80
81       The interface has to exist already in order to use this option; it  may
82       be in state UP or DOWN.
83

--version Argument

85       This  option  displays  the version of the AX.25 utilities that axparms
86       belongs to.
