There are two major differences between tables and secret tables:
The secret field itself cannot be viewed using SNMP, Web or any other application.
ini
file behavior: Secret tables are never displayed in an uploaded
ini
file (for example,
when performing a 'Get
ini
File from Web' operation). Instead, there is a commented title
that states that the secret table is present at the gateway and is not to be revealed.
Secret tables are always kept in the gateways non-volatile memory and can be over-
written by new tables that are provided in a new
ini
file. If a secret table appears in an
ini
file, it replaces the current table regardless of its content. To delete a secret table from
the gateway, provide an empty table of the same type (with no data lines) as part of a
new
ini
file; the empty table replaces the previous table in the gateway.
Using the ini File to Configure Parameter Tables
You can use the
ini
file to add / modify parameter tables. When using tables, Read-Only
parameters are not loaded, as they cause an error when trying to reload the loaded file.
Therefore, Read-Only parameters must not be included in tables in the
ini
file. Consequently,
tables are loaded with all parameters having at least one of the following permissions: Write,
Create or Maintenance Write.
Parameter tables (in an uploaded
ini
file) are grouped according to the applications they
configure (for example, NFS, IPSec). When loading an
ini
file to the gateway, the
recommended policy is to include only tables that belong to applications that are to be
configured (Dynamic tables of other applications are empty, but static tables are not).
The
ini
file includes a Format line that defines the columns of the table to be modified (this
may vary from
ini
file to
ini
file for the same table). The Format line must only include
columns that can be modified (parameters that are not specified as Read-Only).
An exception is Index-fields that are always mandatory. In the example provided in
Table 86
,
all fields except for the Time Connected field are loaded.
Structure of Parameter Tables in the ini File
Tables are composed of four elements:
Title of the table:
The name of the table in square brackets (for example,
[MY_TABLE_NAME]).
A Format line:
Specifies the columns of the table (by their string names) that are to be
configured.
The first word of the Format line must be FORMAT, followed by the names of the
Indices fields, and an equal sign '='. After the equal sign the names of the columns
are listed.
Items must be separated by a comma ','.
The Format line must end with a semicolon ';'.
