Verifying the ROUTE-FILE
To verify the ROUTE-FILE, select verifyroutes from the routefile menu.
The verify option carries out the following checks on the ROUTE-FILE:
-
The format of the entry must be correct.
-
Each destination and Q type entry must have a unique system name.
-
All entries must be destination, listening, Q type, Reality, SovereignX, Alternate Host or Heartbeat entries.
-
Ethernet addresses must be 12 hexadecimal characters. For loopback this will be 12 zeros.
-
If default values are not being used for the device driver, interface type, TSAP or LSAP, a message is displayed.
Note
This is not necessarily an error condition.
-
The provider type must be valid.
-
Comment lines must not exceed 78 characters.
As each entry is checked, information is displayed on the screen. Press the RETURN key to view the next screen-full of information.
