💖 IPV6TOOLKIT.CONF 💖

okay bestie, so this is ipv6toolkit.conf — the config file for SI6 Networks' IPv6 address monitoring daemon (ipv6mon). yes she's a File Formats Manual girlie. let's get into it ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/etc/ipv6toolkit.conf

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this file controls how the SI6 Networks' IPv6 Toolkit operates 🎀 it lets the system administrator configure stuff like:

  • where the IEEE OUI database lives 📍
  • where the service/port-numbers database lives 📍

the config file follows this general format, periodt:

# Comments
Variable1=Value1  # Comments
Variable2=Value2

these are the configuration options that are currently supported, no cap:

  • OUI-Database — this variable says where the IEEE OUI database is at. if you leave it unspecified, the IEEE OUI database is expected to be found at "/usr/share/oui.txt". it's a stripped down version of the IEEE OUI list available at <http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/oui.txt>. the tool can totally process the raw file from the IEEE site (which is why the included oui.txt file can be overwritten with a freshly downloaded copy, no extra processing needed) 💅
  • Ports-Database — this variable says which service/port-number database to use. if you leave it unspecified, the IEEE OUI databased is expected to be found at "/usr/share/ipv6toolkit/service-names-port-numbers.csv".

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

here's a sample ipv6toolkit.conf file, she's serving:

# SI6 Networks IPv6 Toolkit Configuration File

OUI-Database=/usr/share/ipv6toolkit/oui.txt
Ports-Database=/usr/share/ipv6toolkit/service-names-port-numbers.csv
