SYNOPSIS
[lan_interfaces]
DESCRIPTION
provides a means of translating the DHCPv6 client database, into a set
of standard configuration file variables. The client database consists
of a series of records. Each record represents a unique lan interface
and a list of attributes, which correspond to that interface. The
attributes are configuration parameters like: host's IP address, NTP
server address, address of the DHCPv6 server, NIS domain name etc for
that interface. With you can list the contents of the database to the
screen, create a set of configuration staging files, or execute direct
edits on existing configuration files using the values contained in the
client database.
Options
allows you to specify a list of lan interfaces on the command line
(e.g. whose data needs to be translated to a readable format. If no
lan interface is specified, will process the entries of all interfaces
which are UP. The attributes can be selected for processing by speci‐
fying a combination of one or more filter flags on the command line.
If no filter flag is specified, all the attributes for that lan inter‐
face will be processed.
The following options are supported:
Using the results of the specified filter, directly apply the variable
definitions to the existing configuration files (for
example,
Create a set of staging files using the results of the selected fil‐
ter(s).
Each variable processed will be applied to its corre‐
sponding staging configuration file.
Specifically, will generate a copy of the existing con‐
figuration file. For example, will be copied to Once
this staging file has been created, the variable that is
being processed will be applied to this newly created
file.
Print results to the screen (stdout), this is the default action if
neither
nor are specified.
Process the INTERFACE variable set [IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_NAME,
IPV6_ADDRESS, IPV6_PREFIXLEN, DHCPV6_ENABLE].
Process the DNS variable set
[domain, nameserver].
Process the SIP server address and SIP domain name information.
Process the NIS variable set
[NIS_DOMAIN, YPSET_ADDR].
Process the vendor specific information.
Print the DHCPv6 server address.
lan_interfaces lan interfaces such as whose data needs to be translated
to a readable format. If not specified, will process
the entries of all interfaces which are UP.
