router — format of router component configuration

DESCRIPTION

General syntax rules of Kernun Firewall configuration files are described in configuration(7). This man page describes types, sections and items specific for the router component configuration.

Repeatable sections/items are marked by the '*' before section/item name.

TYPES

Configuration directives have attributes of several value-types. For the basic types description, see configuration(7).

Enumeration is a list of words (names) representing integer values. Some enumerations accept both names and direct integer values; in this case, enumeration description contains values for every name (in parenthesis next to name). For other enumerations, using of names is obligatory.

The following enumerations are used in router configuration directives:

yes-no (see common(5))

name-selection (see common(5))

export-import-mode (name-usage obligatory)

none, filter, all

ospf-authentication (name-usage obligatory)

none, simple, cryptographic

ospf-area-id-mode (name-usage obligatory)

number, dotted
