PXED server file syntax for general server operation
The PXED server file keywords of the DHCPv6 server described here are for general server operation. Their forms, subcontainers, default values, and meanings are identified.
Note: Time Units (time_units)
shown in the following table are optional and represent a modifier
to the actual time. The default time unit is minutes. Valid values
are seconds (1), minutes (60), hours (3600), days (86400), weeks (604800),
months (2392000), and years (31536000). The number shown in parentheses
is a multiplier applied to the specified value n to
express the value in seconds.
| Keyword | Form | Subcontainers? | Default Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| database | database db type | Yes | None | The primary container that holds the definitions for the address pools, options, and client access statements. db type is the name of a module that is loaded to process this part of the file. The only value currently available is db_file. |
| logging_info | logging_info | Yes | None | The primary logging container that defines the logging parameters. |
| logitem | logitem NONE | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem SYSERR | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem OBJERR | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem PROTOCOL | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem PROTERR | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem WARN | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem WARNING | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem CONFIG | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem EVENT | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem PARSEERR | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem ACTION | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem ACNTING | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem STAT | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem TRACE | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem RTRACE | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| logitem | logitem START | No | All default to not enabled. | Enables the logging level. Multiple lines are allowed |
| numLogFiles | numLogFiles n | No | 0 | Specifies the number of log files to create. The log rotates when the first one fills. n is the number of files to create. |
| logFileSize | logFileSize n | No | 0 | Specifies the size of each log file in 1024-byte units. |
| logFileName | logFileName path | No | None | Specifies the path to the first log file. The original log
file is named filename or filename.extension.
The filename must be eight or fewer characters.
When a file is rotated, it is renamed beginning with the base filename,
then either appending a number or replacing the extension with a number.
For example, if the original file name is file, the
rotated file name becomes file01. If the original
file name is file.log, it becomes file.01. |
| pxeservertype | pxeservertype servertype | No | dhcp_only | Indicates the type of dhcpsd server it is. servertype can be proxy_on_dhcp_server, which means that PXED is running on the same machine as the DHCP server and it is listening for PXE client requests on port 4011 only, or the default value of pdhcp_only, which means the PXED is running on a separate machine and it has to listen for client packets on port 67 and 4011. |
