This is the manual page for vped, the virtual private ethernet daemon. |

pcg |
1.3 |
When started, \f(CW\*(C`vped\*(C'\fR will read it's configuration file to determine the |
| 144 |
|
|
network topology, and other configuration information, assuming the role |
| 145 |
|
|
of node \fI\s-1NODENAME\s0\fR. It will then connect to the tun/tap device and set |
| 146 |
|
|
up a socket for incoming connections. Then a script will be executed to |
| 147 |
|
|
further configure the virtual device. If that succeeds, it will detach |
| 148 |
|
|
from the controlling terminal and continue in the background, accepting |
| 149 |
|
|
and setting up connections to other vped daemons that are part of the |
| 150 |
