! 18: <p>Mpd provides to user a command line interface on stdin and
! 19: TCP port. Here mpd commands can be entered to
! 20: configure the various layers and check
! 21: the status of the defined bundles and links.
! 22: The commands available at the command line interface
! 23: are exactly the same ones available in the
! 24: <code>mpd.conf</code> config file.</p>
! 25: <p>At any given time, there is always exists an <em>active context</em>
! 26: shich includes active link, bundle and repeater. These name are
! 27: shown in the prompt. Here is an example of running mpd
! 28: with a configuration in <code>mpd.conf</code> that defines
! 29: a bundle <code>myisp</code> containing two links <code>modem1</code>
! 30: and <code>modem2</code>:
! 31: <blockquote><code>
! 32: <pre>
! 33: $ mpd config1
! 34: Multi-link PPP daemon for FreeBSD
! 35:
! 36: process 26177 started, version 5.0 (root@orphanage.alkar.net 13:16 22-Sep-2007)
! 37: [modem1]
! 38: </pre>
! 39: </code></blockquote>
! 40:
! 41: By that time, mpd has already read in and executed all
! 42: the commands associated with the configuration
! 43: <code>config1</code>, which defines the bundle <code>myisp</code>.</p>
! 44: <p>To control mpd runtime you also can connect to mpd's Telnet console.
! 45: <blockquote><code>
! 46: <pre>
! 47: > telnet 0 5005
! 48: Trying 0.0.0.0...
! 49: Connected to 0.
! 50: Escape character is '^]'.
! 51: Multi-link PPP daemon for FreeBSD
! 52:
! 53: Username: Admin
! 54: Password:
! 55: Mpd pid 1419, version 5.0a1 (root@orphanage.alkar.net 13:16 22-Sep-2007)
! 56:
! 57: [modem1]
! 58: </pre>
! 59: </code></blockquote>
! 60: </p>
! 61: <p>The prompt <code>[modem1]</code> shows the currently active
! 62: link (<code>modem1</code>). Any link specific commands issued
! 63: at this point will apply to <code>modem1</code>.</p>
! 64: <p>To change the active link, bundle or repeater, use the
! 65: <code>link</code>, <code>bundle</code> or <code>repeater</code> command:
! 66: <blockquote><code>
! 67: <pre>
! 68: [modem1] link modem2
! 69: [modem2]
! 70: </pre>
! 71: </code></blockquote>
! 72:
! 73: Now any commands entered apply to <code>myisp</code> or
! 74: <code>modem2</code>, as appropriate. This technique works
! 75: the same way in <code>mpd.conf</code>. Also, if changing
! 76: the link requires changing bundles as well, mpd will do
! 77: that too.</p>
! 78: <p>The available commands are described in the next chapter.
! 79: When mpd is running, the <code>help</code> can be used to
! 80: get more information on a specific command:
! 81: <blockquote><code>
! 82: <pre>
! 83: [modem2] help show
! 84: Commands available under "show":
! 85: bundle : Bundle status repeater : Repeater status
! 86: ccp : CCP status ecp : ECP status
! 87: eap : EAP status events : Current events
! 88: ipcp : IPCP status ipv6cp : IPV6CP status
! 89: iface : Interface status routes : IP routing table
! 90: layers : Layers to open/close device : Physical device status
! 91: link : Link status auth : Auth status
! 92: radius : RADIUS status lcp : LCP status
! 93: nat : NAT status mem : Memory map
! 94: console : Console status web : Web status
! 95: global : Global settings types : Supported device types
! 96: version : Version string summary : Daemon status summary
! 97: [modem2]
! 98: </pre>
! 99: </code></blockquote>
! 100: </p>
! 101: <p>Mpd allows you to use only a prefix of a command, as long as the
! 102: command is unambigous:
! 103: <blockquote><code>
! 104: <pre>
! 105: [modem2] b
! 106: Defined bundles:
! 107: Bundle Links
! 108: ------ -----
! 109: myisp modem2[DOWN]
! 110: [modem2] s
! 111: s: ambiguous command
! 112: </pre>
! 113: </code></blockquote>
