Configuration of IP-Forwarding Media Cards

149

If you are going to configure an encapsulated bridge on an ATM circuit,
edit the /etc/gratm.conf file to create a PVC on the ATM OC-3c logical
interface.

5. Specify ARP service in the /etc/grarp.conf file, if needed.

4.6.11.1 Starting Bridged
The

grstart

program regularly checks for the presence of /etc/bridged.conf

and starts the bridged daemon when the file is found.

In the UNIX shell, copy the template for the bridging configuration file to
/etc/bridged.conf:

# cp /etc/bridged.conf.template /etc/bridged.conf

You will see this message:

# Jun 14 23:56:53 grf16 root: grstart: starting bridged.

Now you can use the

bredit

command to open bridged.conf and edit it:

# bredit

#

# NetStar $Id

#

# Configuration file for Bridge Daemon (bridged).

#

# Note: bridged will not start if it finds an error while

# trying to parse this file. Use the "-d" option on the

# command line with bridged to find proximity of the offending

# line.

#

If you have not already copied /etc/bridged.conf, or if

grstart

cannot find the

file, you see this message:

Could not find default config file : /etc/bridged.conf

This seems to be the first time bridged is being configured.

Do you want to use the template configuration file ? [y/n] [n]

If you respond “yes” (

y

) to the

bredit

query, the file is opened for you in the

UNIX vi editor. Comments in the file describe how to configure a group and its
members, and define the bridging options and any defaults.

Exit the file with the vi command,

:q

. You do not need to write the file,

bredit

will do that.
