fastd:tldr:4a6a6
The command fastd --mode ${tap} --mtu ${1400} --config ${path-to-fastd-conf}
is using the fastd
program with specific options and values to run an instance of fastd.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
fastd
: This is the name of the program being executed. It is likely a VPN (Virtual Private Network) application used for secure communication between different nodes in a network. -
--mode ${tap}
: This option sets the mode of fastd to a specific value represented by the variable${tap}
. The value of${tap}
determines the behavior or role of the fastd instance. Without knowing the specific value of${tap}
, it's hard to provide further details on this option. It could represent a server mode, client mode, or a specific configuration. -
--mtu ${1400}
: This option sets the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) value for the fastd instance. The MTU determines the maximum size of a packet that can be transmitted over the network. In this case, the MTU is set to 1400 bytes using the value represented by the variable${1400}
. -
--config ${path-to-fastd-conf}
: This option specifies the configuration file that determines the behavior, settings, and key information required by the fastd instance. The value of${path-to-fastd-conf}
represents the path to the specific configuration file for the fastd instance being run.
Overall, this command starts a fastd instance using specific mode, MTU, and configuration options provided. The exact behavior and purpose are influenced by the values of the variables ${tap}
, ${1400}
, and ${path-to-fastd-conf}
