Configuring gated
Configuration Overview
Chapter 3 49
1. Retain a copy of the gated 3.0 configuration file, because you cannot
specify the same file for input and output while running the
conv_config conversion tool. For example, if you are using
/etc/gated.conf for 3.0, type the following command:
cp /etc/gated.conf /etc/gated.conf.30
2. Issue the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
conv_config <
input_config_file_name
>
output_config_file
where
input_config_file_name is the name of the gated 3.0 file you want
to convert. You must specify this name, because the tool does not
assume that you are converting the default file, /etc/gated.conf.
output_config_file is the name of the new configuration file for
gated 3.5.9. You must specify this name, because the tool does not
assume that you are coverting the default file, /etc/gated.conf.
For example, to convert the gated 3.0 configuration file to gated
3.5.9, issue the following command:
conv_config < /etc/gated.conf.30 > /etc/gated.conf
After running the conversion tool, you can check the new configuration
file for compatibility using the gated -c command. See the Note in the
section “Configuration Overview” on page 45 for more information.
