<iface…> The network interfaces on which zl3d should operate.
These network interfaces must first be created by zconfig. zl3d
does not operate with standard network interface cards. It only
works on switch network interfaces created by zconfig. It uses
the same syntax as zconfig.
OPERATIONS
zl3d manages the host route and network route tables located in the switch. Based on a
trigger condition, zl3d reads the Linux FIB table and the Linux route cache. Each table
entry is filtered by zl3d according to the following:
If an entry from the route cache is not a broadcast address or a local address, and zl3d is
able to resolve the MAC address of the destination, then zl3d inserts the entry into the
switch host route table.
If an entry in the Linux FIB table is a host entry and zl3d is able to resolve the MAC
address of the destination host, then the entry is inserted into the switch host route table. If an
entry from the FIB table is a gateway entry, is not local, and zl3d is able to resolve the
MAC address of the gateway, then the entry is inserted into the switch network route table.
EXAMPLES
Normally, zl3d is run as a background task that continues throughout the life of the Layer 3
network.
In the following example, for the three interfaces specified, zl3d continuously monitors the
Linux FIB and route cache tables looking for updates every three seconds. Entries in the
switch host route table are checked for activity every 15 seconds and aged accordingly.
