This chapter describes commands that configure the repeater layer.
All of these commands (except rnew)
apply to the currently active repeater.
Repeater repeats all connections, coming from one physical device, to another without any processing. This technology is also known as LAC (L2TP Access Concentrator) and PAC (PPTP Access Concentrator).
For correct operation one device should be configured for accepting incoming connections while another for making outgoing connections.
rnew name phys1 phys2 This command creates a new repeater named name.
Two physical devices that constitute the repeater are created and named
phys1 and phys2. For each
physical device, there must be a corresponding entry with the same name (i.e.,
label) in mpd.links. This entry must at the very least
define the type of the physical device (via the set phys type ... command).
