Table of Contentsatmarpd - ATMARP demon atmsigd [-b] [-d] [-D directory] [-l logfile] [-n] atmarpd implements the ATMARP protocol as specified in RFC1577 and RFC1755. Address resolution requests are sent from the kernel (using a comparably simple protocol) to the ATMARP demon, which then performs the dialog with the network. atmarpd can operate as an ATMARP client and as an ATMARP server. If also supports the concurrent use of several IP over ATM interfaces.
atmarpd is configured from the command line using the atmarp program. Unless debugging is enabled, the ATMARP table is written after every change to the file /var/run/atmarpd.table (or to a file with the same name in a different directory, if the -D option is used).
Note that atmarpd disables support for SVCs if signaling is not available at start time, i.e. if atmsigd is not running.
- -b
- Run in background (i.e. in a forked child process) after initializing.
- -d
- Enables (lots of) debugging output. By default, atmarpd is comparably quiet.
- -D dump_dir
- Changes the directory where atmarpd writes its table (atmarpd.table). By default, /var/run is used.
- -l logfile
- Write diagnostic messages to the specified file instead of to standard error. The special name syslog is used to send diagnostics to the system logger.
- -n
- Prints addresses in numeric format only, i.e. no address to name translation is attempted.
- /var/run/atmarpd.table
- ATMARP table
- /proc/atm/arp
- table of currently active IP over ATM VCs
atmarpd removes ATMARP entries from the kernel table while refreshing them. Werner Almesberger, EPFL LRC <werner.almesberger@lrc.di.epfl.ch> atmarp(8), atmsigd(8)
