  "myip"

 
 The ip address you want for this interface, either on 


the form a.b.c.d, or with netmask, like a.b.c.d/e, where e 


represents how many bits you want masked off or on the form 


fff.ggg.hhh.iii, which allows for strange stuff like having 


255.255.243.0 as your netmask (not recommended). 


 
 
  "netmask"

 
 if the netmask isn't set in myip, it must be set 


here.  Allowed forms are single digit, specifying how many 


bits are to be masked off, or a full ip address whose bits 


will be masked off. 


 
 
  "other_ip"

 
 The ip address of one of the peers you are looking 


for.  Good choices include such things as file servers, NIS 


servers, routers and other equipment which you are sure that 


is always up.  Note that it needs to be on the same LAN, 


since ARP requests are normally not routed.  It may also 


include the MAC address of the machine, quite useful if you 


have multiple networks with overlapping IP addresses 


 
 
  "othermac"

 
 The mac address of the previous other_ip.  See otherip 


for more information. 


 
 
  "defaultlocation"

 
 If this flag is set, this location is used as default location. 


That means if none of the descriped location is found, this location  


is used. other location matches, this is used. If several locations 


are marked with the flag defaultlocation, the first one defined 


in the configuration is chosen. 


 
 
  "dontsetip"

 
 If this flag is set, and this location is detected, no 


interface configuration is done. You still have to provide 


myip, but it may be any ip in the subnet, even an ip 


already in use.
