zcip8
Zero configure network interface
Usage
zcip [-hsv]
[-i
interface]
Overview
zcip does the ad-hoc link-local IPv4 auto-configuration trick, as described in the IETF Internet Draft 'Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses'.
Options
- [--help] , [-h]
-
Provide brief help and usage information, and exit.
- [--syslog] , [-s]
-
Send all information to syslog, instead of standard output
- [--version] , [-v]
-
Provide version information, and exit
- [-i interface_name] , [--interface=interface_name]
-
Specifies the interface to configure. If this option is not used, zcip defaults to the eth0 device.
- [-r] , [--randseed]
-
Seeds the random number generator that is used to create the interface's new IP address with a true random number rather than the MAC address of the device.
- [-d] , [--default]
-
Add a default route to this interface in addition to the standard network route.
Files
None yet, but maybe a configuration file will be added. We probably also need one or more files to store the IP for each interface.
