# ipv6toolkit.conf(5)

Configuration file for the SI6 Networks' IPv6 address monitoring daemon (ipv6mon)

## NAME

ipv6toolkit.conf - Configuration file for the SI6 Networks' IPv6 address monitoring daemon (ipv6mon)

## SYNOPSIS

**/etc/ipv6toolkit.conf**

## DESCRIPTION

This file controls the operation of the **SI6 Networks' IPv6 Toolkit** . It allows the system administrator to configure parameters such as:

| | |
| --- | --- |
|  | + Location of the IEEE OUI database |

The configuration file follows the following general format:

```
  # Comments
  Variable1=Value1  # Comments
  Variable2=Value2
```

The following configuration options are currently supported:

- **OUI-Database**

  This variable specifies the location of the IEEE OUI database. If left unspecified, the IEEE OUI databased is expected to be found "/usr/share/oui.txt". This is a stripped down version of the IEEE OUI list available at \<http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/oui.txt\>. The tool is able to process the raw file available from the IEEE site (hence the included oui.txt file can be overwritten with a freshly downloaded copy without any additional processing).

## EXAMPLES

The following is a sample *ipv6toolkit.conf* file.

```
# SI6 Networks IPv6 Toolkit Configuration File
OUI-Database=/usr/share/ipv6toolkit/oui.txt
```
