- pibruin(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit pibruin(1)
- NAME
- pibruin - Classification Rule Insert Utility
- SYNOPSIS
- pibruin [options] [<rules] file
- DESCRIPTION
- Read a set of classification rules from stdin and insert them directly into a PIB file. This program is an alternative
- to program int6krule and a companion to program pibrump. Although it is possible to ruin a PIB using this command, the
- name is short for "rule insert".
- Atheros recommends that users validate all classification rule sets used with this program before inserting them into an
- operational PIB. Individual rules may be syntactically valid but they can still be technically invalid or conflict with
- other. This program does not perform any technical or cross-rule validation what-so-ever.
- Cross-rule validation is normally done by runtime firmware when a rule arrives in a VS_CLASSIFIER management message.
- This validation prevents the insertion of meaningless or conflicting rules into the PIB. It may be possible to commit a
- PIB containing mis-configured classification rule sets thus causing the device to lockup or misbehave on reboot.
- One recommended method of rule set validation is to program a device with individual rules using program int6krule then
- read the PIB and extract the rule set with program pibrump. The rule set should be valid at that point.
- This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the AMP man page for an overview and installation
- instructions.
- OPTIONS
- -o offset
- Specify an alternative PIB offset when inserting the classifier block. Customers should not use this option. It
- is provided to account for firmware changes that might occur in the future. Improper use of this option can ren‐
- der a PIB file unrecoverable.
- -q Suppresses progress messages.
- -v Print additional information on stdout.
- -?,--help
- Print program help summary on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
- -!,--version
- Print program version information on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
- Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of
- the Linux Toolkit you are using.
- ARGUMENTS
- file The name of a valid Atheros runtime parameter file. The file is modified by this program only if the classifica‐
- tion rule file is syntactically correct. See the DISCLAIMER section below. No backup file is created. By con‐
- vention, runtime parameter files have a .pib extention but this program does not enforce that convention. The
- file must exist and be a valid PIB file or errors will occur.
- rules The name of a valid classifier rule file. The file is not modified by this program. Classifier rule files are
- standard ASCII text and may be created manually using a normal text editor or may be generated automatically using
- another program such as pubrump. By convention, classifier rule files have a ..qos extension but this program
- does not enforce that convention. If this file is omitted then rules are read from from the console, one rule per
- line.
- DISCLAIMER
- PIB file structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros, Ocala FL USA. Consequently, public information is not
- available. Qualcomm Atheros reserves the right to change the file structure or content in future firmware releases with‐
- out any obligation to notify or compensate users of this program.
- This program is provided for convenience only. It is possible to insert meaningless or confilicting rule sets into a PIB
- with this program because approved cross-rule validation is not performed. Incorrect application of perfectly valid
- rules may render a device ineffective or unusable on a powerline network. Program users are responsible for ensuring
- that their rule sets are verified by other means before using this program to insert them into an operational PIB file.
- EXAMPLES
- The following is an example set of classification rules stored in file rules.txt. The file contains 5 rules, one rule
- per line. The rules are identical to command line arguments expected by program int6krule and one could type them, one
- at a time, into int6krule and wait for the device to reset each time. Alternately, we could insert all the rules
- directly into a PIB file at once then download and commit the PIB, resulting in only one reset.
- # cat rules.txt
- Cap1 any VLANID is 20 add perm
- DropRX any VLANID is 25 add perm
- StripRx any VLANID is 5 VLANID is 10 VLANID is 15 add perm
- StripRx any VLANID is 20 add perm
- Cap1 any VLANID is 5 VLANID is 10 VLANID is 15 add perm
- The following example reads file rules.txt from stdin and writes it into file def.pib. This may be usefule if one wanted
- to distribute a known set of rules to other users or wanted to test various combinations of rules. Sincd rule files are
- # pibruin < rules.txt
- The next example reads classification rules directly from file abc.pib using program pibrump and writes them directly
- into file def.pbi using program pibruin. This is one means of transfering classification rules from one PIB to another.
