Table 3 - IP.DAT File Parameters
Parameter
Meaning
IP_ADDRESS
IP address of the BCU/CAL, in Internet dotted-decimal notation.
HOST_NAME
Host name of the BCU/CAL, up to 32 characters long.
SUBNET_MASK
IP subnet mask for the BCU/CAL. Specified as 8 hexadecimal digits, in upper case.
4.2.1.1.2. ROUTES.DAT Configuration File
The ROUTES.DAT configuration file specifies network routing paths to be established at system boot. Typically, this
file will only be required if the BCU/CAL is connected to a wide area network, where routers exist between the unit and
other customer host facilities. The template file contains a few example routes, which are commented out (i.e., preceded
with a # character). If no network routing is required, this file may be omitted, or left unaltered.
A log file (1.2/log/routes.log) is generated on each system boot. This file contains a summary of successful routing
additions, as well as any errors detected during processing of the ROUTES.DAT file.
Network routes are specified in the following form:
type destination_ip gateway gateway_ip
Table 4 - ROUTES.DAT File Parameters
Parameter
Meaning
type
Keyword for the type of route being added, either
host
or
network
.
destination_ip
IP address of the destination host or network, in Internet dotted-decimal notation.
gateway
Keyword indicating that the next field is that of the gateway node.
gateway_ip
IP address of the gateway to be used to communicate with the host address specified
by destination_ip.
Parameter specification is not case-sensitive, and is parsed (i.e., net is equivalent to network). White space and/or tabs
may separate the parameters. Trailing comments (#) are allowed.
The following are examples of routing entries in the file ROUTES.DAT. In this example, packets destined for host
147.117.1.2 will be routed to gateway 147.117.37.245 for forwarding. All packets destined for hosts on network
147.200.0.0 will be routed to gateway 147.117.32.2 for forwarding. Similarly, destinations on network 147.117.100. will be
routed through 147.117.32.3.
