DESCRIPTION
       The ippool utility is used to manage information stored in the IP pools
       subsystem of IP Filter software. Configuration file information can  be
       parsed and loaded into the kernel and currently configured pools can be
       removed, changed, or inspected.

       ippool's use is restricted through access to /dev/ippool.  The  default
       permissions  of	/dev/ippool  require  ippool to be run as root for all
       operations.

       The command line options used are divided into two sections: the global
       options and the instance-specific options.

       ippool's use is restricted through access to /dev/ipauth, /dev/ipl, and
       /dev/ipstate. The default permissions of these files require ippool  to
       be run as root for all operations.

OPTIONS
       ippool supports the option categories described below.

   Global Options
       The following global options are supported:

       -d

	   Toggle debugging of processing the configuration file.

       -n

	   Prevents  ippool  from  doing anything, such as making ioctl calls,
	   that would alter the currently running kernel.

       -v

	   Turn verbose mode on.

   Instance-Specific Options
       The following instance-specific options are supported:

       -a

	   Add a new data node to an existing pool in the kernel.

       -A

	   Add a new (empty) pool to the kernel.

       -f file

	   Read in IP pool configuration information from  file	 and  load  it
	   into the kernel.

       -F

	   Flush loaded pools from the kernel.

       -l

	   Display a list of pools currently loaded into the kernel.

       -r

	   Remove an existing data node from a pool in the kernel.

       -R

	   Remove an existing pool from within the kernel.

       -s

	   Display IP pool statistical information.

   Other Options
       The following, additional options are supported:

       -i ipaddr[/netmask]

	   Sets the IP address for the operation being undertaken with an all-
	   one's mask or, optionally, a specific netmask, given in either dot‐
	   ted-quad notation or as a single integer.

       -m poolname

	   Sets the pool name for the current operation.

       -M core

	   Specify  an	alternative  path  to /dev/kmem from which to retrieve
	   statistical information.

       -N namelist

	   Specify an alternative path to lookup symbol name information  when
	   retrieving statistical information.

       -o role

	   Sets	 the  role  with which this pool is to be used. Currently only
	   ipf, auth, and count are accepted as arguments to this option.

       -S seed

	   Sets the hashing seed to the number specified. For use  with	 hash-
	   type pools only.

       -t type

	   Sets	 the type of pool being defined. Must be one of pool, hash, or
	   group-map.

       -u

	   When parsing a configuration file, rather than load new  pool  data
	   into the kernel, unload it.

FILES
       /dev/ippool

	   Link to IP Filter pseudo device.

       /dev/kmem

	   Special file that provides access to virtual address space.

       /etc/ipf/ippool.conf

	   Location of ippool startup configuration file.
