- -m data
-
Specifies mapping options that override the
system defaults.
There are several mapping options, such as
allowing remote
subnet map requests and the type of filtering to be provided
for any map.
When the default settings for these
options is not appropriate for your site, you can override them
with -m options.
Since the possible set of options is dependent on the specific
network environment, these options are grouped together under
this single flag.
If you are allowing broadcasts from nonconnected networks (such as through
a router or dedicated gateway), you must use
the -m r=y option.
This option tells the map server
that it should send maps to any request, even if that request originated
on another (remote) subnet.
If you are using this host as a gateway, you may also want to allow the
host to respond to any map requests that arrive on one subnet
with a map that contains the hosts on all the directly connected subnets.
To do this, specify the -m f=gateway option.
- -n data
-
Specifies a network addressing option that is to
override the default.
There are several network addressing options, such as port
numbers, broadcast address type, and so forth, that have internal
default values.
In rare cases, such as a network addressing
conflict, it may be necessary to specify one or more of these
options.
Since the possible set of options is dependent on the specific
network environment, these options are grouped together under
this single flag.
In the rare event that you should need to change
the default settings for this option,
contact your PC-Interface server vendor's
support organization.
- -s
-
Specifies that administrator-supplied internet addresses are
to supplement
the system-supplied configuration, rather than to replace them.
(See the -I option.)
- -D value
-
Turns on the log file, using the specified
channels.
It should be the
first option in the options list for pcimapsvr.ip so that any
faults in the parameter list can be logged.
- -I addr
-
Specify an explicit internet address triplet.
In rare cases,
the network interface configuration as provided
by the system is insufficient or invalid.
This option
allows the user to specify an address explicitly, and multiple
instances may be used to specify multiple addresses.
When this
option is specified, the system-provided configuration
is not used unless the -s option is also specified.
The format for an address triplet is:
local-addr,broadcast-addr,subnet-mask
where the local-addr, broadcast-addr, and subnet-mask
are the
standard notation for local address, broadcast address, and
subnet mask, respectively.
If either the broadcast address or
subnet mask isn't specified, it is interpreted from the local
address, which must be specified.
- -S
-
Specifies a single host address for pcimapsvr.ip.
In some cases, you might not want to provide connection service
using the system-provided interface list, but instead by standard
host name
as provided by /etc/hosts or by a name
server.
- -V
-
displays the internal version number for the
program.
