Configuring gated
Configuration Overview
Chapter 346
If you do not want to use any of the gated 3.5.9 features added at HP-UX
10.30, and do not have any tracing configured in your gated 3.0
/etc/gated.conf configuration file, you can continue to use your 3.0
configuration file with gated 3.5.9. If you do have tracing configured in
your gated 3.0 file, you must run the conv_config conversion tool on the
file so that it follows the 3.5.9 syntax (see “Converting the Configuration
File from 3.0 to 3.5.9” on page 48). For more information about the 3.5.9
syntax, type man 4 gated.conf at the HP-UX prompt.
To check your gated 3.0 configuration file for compatibility with the 3.5.9
syntax, issue the following command at the command prompt:
gated -c [-f
config_file_name
]
You need to specify -f
config_file_name
only if the configuration file
you are checking is not the default file.
If you are still running gated 2.0, you must manually edit the
/etc/gated.conf file so that it follows the 3.5.9 syntax. The conversion
utility that was previously available to migrate from gated 2.0 to 3.0 is
no longer available, and you can only use the conv_config tool when
migrating from 3.0 to 3.5.9.
Configuring gated
To configure gated, complete the following steps:
1. Issue the following command to create the gated configuration file
/etc/gated.conf:
gdc newconf
If the protocols are not explicitly specified, gated assumes the
following:
rip yes;
ospf no;
2. Determine how you want to configure each routing protocol, then add
the appropriate statements for each protocol to the
/etc/gated.conf configuration file.
See the section “Configuring the OSPF Protocol” on page 60 for
OSPF routing configuration statements. RIP configuration is
described in “Configuring the RIP Protocol” on page 50. For a more
detailed description of the configuration statements, type man 4
gated.conf at the HP-UX prompt.
