3.6.1 DKIPTAB
(IP-CommKit must be stopped before you update this table. See 6.3 for details.)
The dkiptab is a new control file for IP-CommKit that tells the IP-CommKit software the IP
addresses assigned to the UTM and the host LAN interfaces. Even if you are upgrading a
computer from the CommKit Host Interface to IP-CommKit, you still must enter the dkiptab
before IP-CommKit will operate. While the installation scripts create a dkiptab file in the
appropriate directory, it contains only comments. Fortunately, the dkiptab is very easy to enter
with your favorite text editor. See the manual page (dkiptab(4)) for the file format and examples.
3.6.2 DKITRC AND DKITCFG
/sbin/init.d/dkitrc is a shell script that starts and stops the IP-CommKit software on the host
computer. It is linked into several /sbin /rc?.d directories so that it runs automatically when the
init state of the host computer changes, i.e., at startup and shutdown. The operation of dkitrc is
controlled by /etc/rc.config.d/dkitcfg.
The dkitrc and dkitcfg scripts for IP-CommKit are different from the /sbin/dkit and
/etc/rc.config.d/dkit scripts used in some versions of HP’s CommKit Host Interface software. If
you are upgrading a computer from the CommKit Host Interface to IP-CommKit, and you
customized the configuration in /etc/rc.config.d/dkit script, you will need to customize the
dkitcfg script supplied with the IP-CommKit software. The most common reasons for
customizing the dkitcfg script are to change the number of channels available per interface from
the default value of 64, and to change the number of logical interfaces from the default value of 1.
The dkitcfg script itself contains instructions for making modifications. It should not be necessary
to make any modifications to the dkitrc script.
