NAME
strcf - STREAMS Configuration File for STREAMS TCP/IP
DESCRIPTION
/etc/strcf contains the script that is executed by slink(1M)
to perform the STREAMS configuration operations required for
STREAMS TCP/IP.
The standard /etc/strcf file contains several functions that
perform various configuration operations, along with a sam-
ple boot function. Normally, only the boot function must be
modified to customize the configuration for a given instal-
lation. In some cases, however, it may be necessary to
change existing functions or add new functions.
The following functions perform basic linking operations:
The tp function is used to set up the link between a tran-
sport provider, such as TCP, and IP.
#
# tp - configure transport provider (i.e. tcp, udp, icmp)
# usage: tp devname
#
tp {
p = open $1
ip = open /dev/ip
link p ip
}
The linkint function links the specified streams and does a
sifname operation with the given name.
#
# linkint - link interface to ip or arp
# usage: linkint top bottom ifname
#
linkint {
x = link $1 $2
sifname $1 x $3
}
The aplinkint function performs the same function as linkint
for an interface that uses the app module.
#
# aplinkint - like linkint, but app is pushed on dev
# usage: aplinkint top bottom ifname
#
aplinkint {
push $2 app
linkint $1 $2 $3

The following functions are used to configure different
types of Ethernet interfaces:
The uenet function is used to configure an Ethernet inter-
face for a cloning device driver that uses the unit select
ioctl to select the desired interface. The interface name
is constructed by concatenating the supplied prefix and the
unit number.
#
# uenet - configure ethernet-type interface for cloning driver using
# unit select
# usage: uenet ip-fd devname ifprefix unit
#
uenet {
ifname = strcat $3 $4
dev = open $2
unitsel dev $4
aplinkint $1 dev ifname
dev = open $2
unitsel dev $4
arp = open /dev/arp
linkint arp dev ifname
}
The denet function performs the same function as uenet,
except that DLATTACH is used instead of unit select.
#
# denet - configure ethernet-type interface for cloning driver using
# DLATTACH
# usage: denet ip-fd devname ifprefix unit
#
denet {
ifname = strcat $3 $4
dev = open $2
dlattach dev $4
aplinkint $1 dev ifname
dev = open $2
dlattach dev $4
arp = open /dev/arp
linkint arp dev ifname
}
The cenet function is used to configure an Ethernet inter-
face for a cloning device driver that uses a different major
number for each interface. The device name is formed by
concatenating the supplied device name prefix and the unit
number. The interface name is formed in a similar manner
using the interface name prefix.

#
# cenet - configure ethernet-type interface for cloning driver with
# one major per interface
# usage: cenet ip-fd devprefix ifprefix unit
#
cenet {
devname = strcat $2 $4
ifname = strcat $3 $4
dev = open devname
aplinkint $1 dev ifname
dev = open devname
arp = open /dev/arp
linkint arp dev ifname
}
The senet function is used to configure an Ethernet inter-
face for a non-cloning device driver. Two different device
nodes must be specified for IP and ARP.
#
# senet - configure ethernet-type interface for non-cloning driver
# usage: senet ip-fd ipdevname arpdevname ifname
#
senet {
dev = open $2
aplinkint $1 dev $4
dev = open $3
arp = open /dev/arp
linkint arp dev $4
}
The senetc function is like senet, except that it allows the
specification of a convergence module to be used with the
ethernet driver (such as, for the 3B2 emd driver).
#
# senetc - configure ethernet-type interface for non-cloning driver
# using convergence module
# usage: senetc ip-fd convergence ipdevname arpdevname ifname
#
senetc {
dev = open $3
push dev $2
aplinkint $1 dev $5
dev = open $4
push dev $2
arp = open /dev/arp
linkint arp dev $5
}
The loopback function is used to configure the loopback
interface.

#
# loopback - configure loopback device
# usage: loopback ip-fd
#
loopback {
dev = open /dev/loop
linkint $1 dev lo0
}
The slip function is used to configure a SLIP interface.
This function is not normally executed at boot time.
Rather, the slattach(1M) command runs slink specifying slip
on the command line.
#
# slip - configure slip interface
# usage: slip unit
#
slip {
ip = open /dev/ip
s = open /dev/slip
ifname = strcat sl $1
unitsel s $1
linkint ip s ifname
}
The boot function is called by default when slink is exe-
cuted. Normally, only the interfaces section and possibly
the queue params section will have to be customized for a
given installation. Examples are provided for the various
Ethernet driver types.
#
# boot - boot time configuration
#
boot {
#
# queue params
#
initqp /dev/udp rq 8192 40960
initqp /dev/ip muxrq 8192 40960 rq 8192 40960
#
# transport
#
tp /dev/tcp
tp /dev/udp
tp /dev/icmp
tp /dev/rawip
}
