slip.config(4)                                     slip.config(4)



NAME
     slip.config - establishes the number of available Compressed
     Serial Line/Internet Protocol (CSL/IP) connections

DESCRIPTION
     The /etc/slip.config file is configured on the CSL/IP server
     to  establish the number of serial lines available as CSL/IP
     connections. After you  set  up  /etc/slip.config,  run  the
     mkslipuser   command,   which   creates   a   binary   file,
     /etc/slip.user.  The slip command examines /etc/slip.user to
     determine  the number of available CSL/IP connections and to
     assign a serial line to a network interface for a  point-to-
     point TCP/IP link.

     The /etc/slip.config file contains one or more entries, each
     of  which  consists  of  the  Internet address of the CSL/IP
     server. You specify one entry for each serial line that  you
     wish  to  make available as a CSL/IP line. For example, on a
     system  whose  Internet  address  is   128.120.254.3,   this
     /etc/slip.config  file makes three serial lines available as
     CSL/IP connections:

        128.120.254.3
        128.120.254.3
        128.120.254.3

     The mkslipuser command interprets a line that begins with  a
     number sign (#) as a comment.

     Only the system  administrator  of  the  CSL/IP  server  can
     modify /etc/slip.config.
