This example shows a sample configuration and the files used for the configuration.
Scenario
In this example, there are two PCAs and three packet forwarders:
- Master PCA - IP address 1.1.1.1
- Secondary PCA - IP address 1.1.1.2
- Packet forwarder 1 - IP address 2.2.2.1
- Packet forwarder 2 - 2.2.2.2
- Packet forwarder 3 - 2.2.2.3
All of the Packet Forwarders initially connect to the Master PCA to receive their config files. When the Auto-configuration script sees the new Packet Forwarders it assigns them to the available PCAs as defined in the pfconf-conf.xml file. Each packet forwarder has it's own fwdr-conf.xml file
Example pfconf-conf.xml
In this example the pfconf-conf.xml file would look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Conf>
<PfservPort>
<Port>1880</Port>
</PfservPort>
<PFOptions>
<NIC>
<SetNIC>true</SetNIC>
<PrimaryInterface>eth0</PrimaryInterface>
</NIC>
<BasePort>
<SetPort>true</SetPort>
<Port>1888</Port>
</BasePort>
<FwdrConfig>
<ConfigFile>fwdr-conf-defaults.xml</ConfigFile>
</FwdrConfig>
</PFOptions>
<PCA>
<Address>1.1.1.1</Address>
<MaxPeers>3</MaxPeers>
</PCA>
<PCA>
<Address>1.1.1.2</Address>
<MaxPeers>3</MaxPeers>
</PCA>
</Conf>Example fwdr-conf.xml files
Each packet forwarder has it's own fwdr-conf. xml file.
In this example, the Packed Forwarder 1 fwdr-conf.xml would
be:
<Conf>
<Capture>
<PrimaryInterface>eth0</PrimaryInterface>
</Capture>
<Delivery>
<Peers>
<Peer>
<Address>1.1.1.1</Address>
<Port>1888</Port>
</Peer>
</Peers>
</Delivery>
</Conf>In this example, the Packed Forwarder 2 fwdr-conf.xml would
be:
<Conf>
<Capture>
<PrimaryInterface>eth0</PrimaryInterface>
</Capture>
<Delivery>
<Peers>
<Peer>
<Address>1.1.1.2</Address>
<Port>1888</Port>
</Peer>
</Peers>
</Delivery>
</Conf>In this example, the Packed Forwarder 3 fwdr-conf.xml would
be:
<Conf>
<Capture>
<PrimaryInterface>eth0</PrimaryInterface>
</Capture>
<Delivery>
<Peers>
<Peer>
<Address>1.1.1.1</Address>
<Port>1889</Port>
</Peer>
</Peers>
</Delivery>
</Conf>
