ltm-mkprotodb(1)                                              ltm-mkprotodb(1)


NAME

       ltm-mkprotodb - Creates a compiled protocols database file


SYNTAX

       ltm-mkprotodb -i {input file} -o {output file}


DESCRIPTION

       The ltm-client program requires a compiled version of the protocols.cfg
       file. This is done using ltm-mkprotodb.

        eg.
        cd /usr/local/etc &&
        ltm-mkprotodb -i protocols.cfg -o protocols.db


OPTIONS

       -i input file (eg. /usr/local/etc/protocols.cfg)
       -o output file (eg. /usr/local/etc/protocols.db)


FILES

       The format of the /usr/local/etc/protocols.cfg file is as follows:

          Field 1: State  0=off 1=on
          Field 2: Modify 0=non editable 1=editable
          Field 3: Protocol id (eg. icmp=1, tcp=6, udp=17, ospf=89)
          Field 4: Protocol name (eg. icmp, tcp, udp, ospf)
          Field 5: SubProtocol id (eg. echorequest=0, telnet=23,
          Field 6: SubProtocol name (eg. echorequest, telnet, domain)
          Field 7: IP address (0.0.0.0 match all IP addresses)
          Field 8: Netmask (currently unused)

       The Statseeker network performance monitoring product contains a web
       tool for modifying this configuration file, but you'll just have to
       edit it with a text editor. Field number 2 is only meaningful to the
       web tool. Field 8 is unused, but must exist.

       A 'Protocol name' and 'SubProtocol name' can consist of alpha numeric,
       underscore and dash characters. A dot '.' can not be used.

       LTM IP protocols are defined by:

       1. IP Protocol type (eg. ICMP, TCP, UDP, OSPF, EGP)
       2. Sub Type (eg. TCP/UDP port numbers, ICMP code, etc)
       3. IP Address of a specific host.

       The IP address field allows you to redefine the protocol type for a
       specific host. For example, port 80 can be redefined from "http" to
       "my_intranet". All other port 80 traffic will be displayed as "http". A
       value of 0.0.0.0 for the IP address is a wild card, meaning "any IP
       address".
