#
# DESCRIPTION:
#
#    Configuration file for failSAFE IP server.
#
# SYNTAX:
#
#    Keywords are optional.  If either the keyword is omitted or the
#    keyword valued is not specified, then the default value is applied.
#
#    interface_list:   [["ALL"] | [ifname,...]]
#    info_poll:	       [seconds]
#    warn_poll:	       [seconds]
#    retry_warn:       [retries]
#    error_poll:       [seconds]
#    logfile:          [file specification]
#    generate_traffic: [["mac"] | "arp" | "off"]
#    mac_pty:          [2-byte hexadecimal value]
#
#    Comment lines are delimited by "#" character.
#
# FAILOVER TIME:
#
#    Minimum failover time: info_poll + (warn_poll * retry_warn)
#    Maximum failover time: (2 * info_poll) + (warn_poll * retry_warn)
#
# KEYWORD DESCRIPTIONS:
#
#  interface_list - list of TCP/IP interface names to be monitored.
#
#  info_poll  - poll interval when interface is functioning normally.
#
#  warn_poll  - poll interval when interface first stops responding.
#
#  retry_warn - number of times to poll at warn_poll frequency before
#               deeming the interface has failed.
#
#  error_poll - poll interval when interface has failed.
#
#  logfile    - logfile specification.
#
#  generate_traffic - periodic traffic is used to verify NICs are
#	        functioning.  For busy networks, may disable traffic.
#               Traffic may be arp-based or MAC level.  ARP traffic
#               requires an active IP address on the NIC.  MAC level
#               traffic is sent regardless of the NIC configured with
#               IP.  Valid values: [mac], arp, off.
#
#  mac_pty    -	if "mac" traffic is being used, mac_pty specifies the
#               protocol type in hex format.  For instance, from
#               http://www.iana.org/assignments/ethernet-numbers,
#               the DEC Diagnostic protocol type has a value of 6005.
#               If this is not specified, failSAFE selects an
#               available protocol type.
#
# EXAMPLES:
#
#    interface_list: ie0, ie1
#    info_poll:	     3
#    retry_warn:     1
#    mac_pty:        6005
