Configuring the hosts file

When the probe starts up, it first checks the HostsFile property for the presence of a hosts file. If you have not specified a hosts file, the probe then checks the Host and Port properties for the host name and port details of a single Tekelec Eagle STP host. If you have specified values for all three properties, the probe will use the details in the hosts file.

The format of a host entry in the hosts file is as follows:

host port : ci , co , ft , ia , ri , ra , af ;

Multiple log-ins within entries must be separated by colons (:). Individual elements of an entry are separated by commas (,) or by one of the following white space characters: space (sp), tab (tab), carriage return (cr), or newline (nl). Each entry must end with a semicolon (;). Blank lines are ignored.

When using chatin (ci) and chatout (co) elements in a host entry, you must enclose the chatin and chatout strings in quotation marks. For example:

110.26.10.166 22 : ".*\> 20\r .*\> login: uid=eagle\r .*\: tklc.1023\r .*\> rept-stat-trbl\r" , "logout" , 10 , 10 , 3 , 3 , true ;
