NAME

ipnadmin - Interplanetary Internet (IPN) scheme administration interface

SYNOPSIS

ipnadmin [ commands_filename ]

DESCRIPTION

ipnadmin configures the local ION node's routing of bundles to endpoints whose IDs conform to the ipn endpoint ID scheme. ipn is a CBHE-conformant scheme; that is, every endpoint ID in the ipn scheme is a string of the form "ipn:node_number.service_number" where node_number is a CBHE "node number" and service_number identifies a specific application processing point.

ipnadmin operates in response to IPN scheme configuration commands found in the file commands_filename, if provided; if not, ipnadmin prints a simple prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into standard input.

The format of commands for commands_filename can be queried from ipnadmin with the 'h' or '?' commands at the prompt. The commands are documented in ipnrc(5).

EXIT STATUS

"0" Successful completion of IPN scheme administration.
"1" Unsuccessful completion of IPN scheme administration, due to inability to attach to the Bundle Protocol system or to initialize the IPN scheme.

EXAMPLES

ipnadmin

Enter interactive IPN scheme configuration command entry mode.
ipnadmin host1.ipnrc

Execute all configuration commands in host1.ipnrc, then terminate immediately.

FILES

See ipnrc(5) for details of the IPN scheme configuration commands.

ENVIRONMENT

No environment variables apply.

DIAGNOSTICS

Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the ipnrc file on a Windows machine, be sure to use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before presenting it to ipnadmin. Otherwise ipnadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily.

The following diagnostics may be issued to the logfile ion.log:

ipnadmin can't attach to BP.

Bundle Protocol has not been initialized on this computer. You need to run bpadmin(1) first.
ipnadmin can't initialize routing database.

There is no SDR data store for ipnadmin to use. Please run ionadmin(1) to start the local ION node.
Can't open command file...

The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist.

Various errors that don't cause ipnadmin to fail but are noted in the ion.log log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or in the commands_filename file. Please see ipnrc(5) for details.
