Advanced Networking

Overview

There are many thing that GWS(The Configuration Software for Telem-GW6) can't do. For instance NTP, VLAN and OpenVPN configuration. If something extra is needed then in general user's should create Linux scripts and copy them to Telem-GW6. Sometimes a change of an existing script is enough. Example scripts can be found from Telem-GW6 /usr/local/bin/ folder.

Location of Startup Scripts

/etc/init.d/

Scripts in this folder are run at system startup.

/etc/network/if-ud.d/ and /etc/network/if-down.d/

Scripts in this folder are run when an interface(for instance ethernet interface eth0) becomes available or unavailable. These scripts are needed(used) for instance for configuring the firewall or routing.

/etc/ppp/ip-up or /etc/ppp/ip-down

Scripts in this folder are run when an PPP interface becomes available or unavailable. These scripts are needed(used) for instance for configuring the firewall or routing.
