CONFIG Commands

This section describes the keywords and arguments for the various CONFIG commands.

Connection commands

conns are used to create connections, for example, a WAN or LAN conn. There may be more than one of each
depending on your model. names correspond to the system object IDs (OIDs) but you can name them yourself.
set conn name name link-oid value
Sets the connection named name to point to an associated link specified by the link-oid value.
set conn name name type [ static | dhcpc | ppp ]
Specifies whether the type of the connection named name is static, dhcpc, or ppp.
set conn name name side [ lan | wan ]
Specifies whether this conn is LAN- or WAN-side. A conn can be either lan or wan.
set conn name name lan-type [ private | public | public-delegated ]
Specifies whether this conn's LAN is private, public, or public-delegated. The default is private, the usual type of
local network.
set conn name name dhcp-server-enable [ on | off ]
Turns the DHCP server for this connection on or off. The DHCP server can be enabled per connection. The
default is on.
set conn name name mcast-forwarding [ off | on ]
Turns IP IGMP multicast forwarding for this connection off or on. The default is off.
set conn name name rip-send [ off | v1 | v2 | v1-compat | v2-md5 ]
Specifies whether the device should use Routing Information Protocol (RIP) broadcasts to advertise its routing
tables to other Gateways. RIP Version 2 (RIP-2) is an extension of the original Routing Information Protocol (RIP-
1) that expands the amount of useful information in the RIP packets. While RIP-1 and RIP-2 share the same basic
algorithms, RIP-2 supports several additional features, including inclusion of subnet masks in RIP packets and
implementation of multicasting instead of broadcasting (which reduces the load on hosts which do not support
routing protocols. RIP-2 with MD5 authentication is an extension of RIP-2 that increases security by requiring an
authentication key when routes are advertised. Depending on your network needs, you can configure your device
to support RIP-1, RIP-2, or RIP-2MD5.
If you specify v2-MD5, you must also specify a rip-send-key. Keys are ASCII strings with a maximum of 31 charac-
ters, and must match the other Gateway(s) keys for proper operation of MD5 support. The default is off.
set conn name name rip-receive [ off | v1 | v2 | v1-compat | v2-md5 ]
Specifies whether the device should use Routing Information Protocol (RIP) broadcasts to update its routing
tables with information received from other Gateways on the other side of the connection. If you specify v2-md5,
you must also specify a rip-receive-key. Keys are ASCII strings with a maximum of 31 characters, and must match
the other Gateway(s) keys for proper operation of MD5 support. The default is off.
