The network configuration in Kamikaze is stored in \texttt{/etc/config/network}
and is divided into interface configurations.
Each interface configuration either refers directly to an ethernet/wifi
interface (\texttt{eth0}, \texttt{wl0}, ..) or to a bridge containing multiple interfaces.
It looks like this:
\begin{Verbatim}
config interface "lan"
option ifname "eth0"
option proto "static"
option ipaddr "192.168.1.1"
option netmask "255.255.255.0"
option gateway "192.168.1.254"
option dns "192.168.1.254"
\end{Verbatim}
\texttt{ifname} specifies the Linux interface name.
If you want to use bridging on one or more interfaces, set \texttt{ifname} to a list
of interfaces and add:
\begin{Verbatim}
option type "bridge"
\end{Verbatim}
It is possible to use VLAN tagging on an interface simply by adding the VLAN IDs
to it, e.g. \texttt{eth0.1}. These can be nested as well.
This sets up a simple static configuration for \texttt{eth0}. \texttt{proto} specifies the
protocol used for the interface. The default image usually provides \texttt{'none'}
\texttt{'static'}, \texttt{'dhcp'} and \texttt{'pppoe'}. Others can be added by installing additional
packages.
When using the \texttt{'static'} method like in the example, the options \texttt{ipaddr} and
\texttt{netmask} are mandatory, while \texttt{gateway} and \texttt{dns} are optional.
DHCP currently only accepts \texttt{ipaddr} (IP address to request from the server)
and \texttt{hostname} (client hostname identify as) - both are optional.
PPP based protocols (\texttt{pppoe}, \texttt{pptp}, ...) accept these options:
\begin{itemize}
\item{username} \\
The PPP username (usually with PAP authentication)
\item{password} \\
The PPP password
\item{keepalive} \\
Ping the PPP server (using LCP). The value of this option
specifies the maximum number of failed pings before reconnecting.
The ping interval defaults to 5, but can be changed by appending
",<interval>" to the keepalive value
\item{demand} \\
Use Dial on Demand (value specifies the maximum idle time.
\item{server: (pptp)} \\
The remote pptp server IP
\end{itemize}
For all protocol types, you can also specify the MTU by using the \texttt{mtu} option.
\subsubsection{Setting up the switch (currently broadcom only)}
The switch configuration is set by adding a \texttt{'switch'} config section.
Example:
\begin{Verbatim}
config switch eth0
option vlan0 "1 2 3 4 5*"
option vlan1 "0 5"
\end{Verbatim}
On Broadcom hardware the section name needs to be eth0, as the switch driver
does not detect the switch on any other physical device.
Every vlan option needs to have the name vlan<n> where <n> is the VLAN number
as used in the switch driver.
As value it takes a list of ports with these optional suffixes:
\begin{itemize}
\item{\texttt{'*'}:}
Set the default VLAN (PVID) of the Port to the current VLAN
\item{\texttt{'u'}:}
Force the port to be untagged
\item{\texttt{'t'}:}
Force the port to be tagged
\end{itemize}
The CPU port defaults to tagged, all other ports to untagged.
On Broadcom hardware the CPU port is always 5. The other ports may vary with
different hardware.
