JNOS Commands Manual - The G Commands

The G Command Set

gate 

     The gate command, available when JNOS is compiled with TCPGATE
#define'd, manages the tcpgate server, which accepts connects to certain
tcp ports, and logically redirects them to another host and/or tcp port.
Thus it is only one half of a proxy server!

     When invoked without arguements, gate displays the current state of 
any active connections through the tcpgate code.  On the left is the
originating address and port, on the right is the destination address
and port, as determined by the 'start gate...' command, and in the
center is the port that was used by tcpgate to trap the connection.  

     gate status

      Displays the manner in which incoming connections are mapped to what
      outgoing ones.  It also displays the number of client connections 
      allowed and the inactivity timeout.


     gate maxcli

      Determines how many clients may connect through the tcpgate at any one
      time.


     gate tdisc 

      Determines the inactivity timeout (in seconds) as measured by data 
      SENT to the client.  A value of zero disables this feature.


     start gate port hostname [port]

       This is used to start up the tcpgate server on a particular port.  
       The server listens for connection on that port and accepts them.  
       It then makes a connection to the nominated hostname (with 
       optionally a new port number - otherwise the same port number as 
       is listened for is used).  The 'gate status' command may be used 
       to determine what ports have already been configured.  This 
       command generates a failure if that port number is already in use.
