RE: port specification

[Doug Johnson <doug.johnson,AT,vifanusa,DOT,com>]

I know Redhat 8 uses a MYPORT variable in the ifcfg-cipcbx script. Here is a
example ifcfg-cipcb0 config file out of Redhat 8:

##########################################################

DEVICE=cipcb0
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=yes

# PORT specifies which UDP port is used by CIPE process
# for the local endpoint.  Make sure this passes through possible
# firewalls.
MYPORT=6060

# PEER specifies the _real_ address of the remote CIPE endpoint.
# 0.0.0.0 means it's allocated dynamically (only one end can set it this,
# though).  You must specifiy the peer port address on this line
# in the form peer.host.example.com:port
PEER=cipe.example.com:6060

# PTPADDR specifies the _virtual_ address for the remote end of the
# CIPE tunnel.  Usually it should be an address reserved for local
# networks so that it won't mess up routing to "real" addresses.
PTPADDR=10.0.0.1

# IPADDR specifies the _virtual_ address for the local end of the
# CIPE tunnel.  Usually it should be an address reserved for local
# networks so that it won't mess up routing to "real" addresses.
IPADDR=10.0.0.2

This is a question for someone on the list who knows how redhat does things.
I use Debian, so I'm afraid I can't offer an answer.
