DESCRIPTION

     Ippool is used to manage information stored in the IP  pools
     subsystem  of  IPFilter.  Configuration file information may
     be parsed and loaded into the kernel,  currently  configured
     pools removed or changed as well as inspected.

     The command line options used are broken into two  sections:
     the global options and the instance specific options.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

     -d   Toggle debugging of processing the configuration file.

     -n   This flag (no-change)  prevents  ippool  from  actually
          making  any  ioctl  calls or doing anything which would
          alter the currently running kernel.

     -v   Turn verbose mode on.

COMMAND OPTIONS

     -a   Add a new data node to an existing pool in the kernel.

     -A   Add a new (empty) pool to the kernel.

     -f <file>
          Read in IP pool configuration information from the file
          and load it into the kernel.

     -F   Flush loaded pools from the kernel.

     -l   Display a list of pools currently loaded into the  ker-
          nel.

     -r   Remove an existing data node from a pool in the kernel.

     -R   Remove an existing pool from within the kernel.

IPPOOL(8)             MAINTENANCE COMMANDS              IPPOOL(8)

     -s   Display IP pool statistical information.

OPTIONS

     -i <ipaddr>[/<netmask>]
          Sets the IP address for the operation being  undertaken
          with  an all-one's mask or, optionally, a specific net-
          mask given in either the dotted-quad notation or a sin-
          gle integer.

     -m <name>
          Sets the pool name for the current operation.

     -M <core>
          Specify an alternative path to  /dev/kmem  to  retrieve
          statistical information from.

     -N <namelist>
          Specify an  alternative  path  to  lookup  symbol  name
          information  from  when retrieving statistical informa-
          tion.

     -o <role>
          Sets the role with which  this  pool  is  to  be  used.
          Currently  only  ipf,  auth  and  count are accepted as
          arguments to this option.

     -S <seed>
          Sets the hashing seed to the  number  specified.   Only
          for use with hash type pools.

     -t <type>
          Sets the type of pool being defined.  Myst  be  one  of
          tree, hash, group-map.

     -u   When parsing a configuration file, rather than load new
          pool data into the kernel, unload it.
