| /usr/bin/photon/phnetprobe |
The main photon application |
| /usr/bin/photon/phnetprobe.net | The background network probe that buffers packets |
| /usr/bin/photon/phnetprobe.dns | The background IP to host name resolver |
| /usr/bin/photon/phnetprobe.db | The application database |
| /usr/bin/photon/phnetprobe.uninstall | The application uninstaller |
| ~/.photon/phnetprobe/phnetprobe.hosts | The list of hosts gathered from the network |
| ~/.photon/phnetprobe/phnetprobe.cfg | The configuration file |
The main photon application starts the background network probe and IP to host name resolver if they are not already running.
Arguments:
| -H Hosts |
Maximum number of Hosts in the Host Table ( default:
200 (300k) ) |
| -2 Hosts | Maximum number of Hosts in the Host
to Host Table ( default: 400 (600k) ) ( 4 (6k) <= Hosts <= 4000 (6MB) ) |
| -I IPs | Maximum number of IPs in the IP Table
( default: 200 (400k) ) ( 2 (4k) <= IPs <= 2000 (4MB) ) |
| -4 IPs | Maximum number of IPs in the IP to IP
Table ( default: 400 (600k) ) ( 4 (8k) <= IPs <= 4000 (8MB) ) |
| -R Packets | Maximum number of Packets in the Rx Packet
Table ( default: 500 (1MB) ) ( 10 (200k) <= Packets <= 5000 (10MB) ) |
| -T Packets | Maximum number of Packets in the Tx Packet
Table ( default: 200 (400k) ) ( 2 (4k) <= Packets <= 2000 (4MB) ) |
| -r Packets | Number of Rx Packets to buffer ( default: 2000 (3MB) ) ( 100 (150k) <= Packets <= 50000 (75MB) ) |
| -t Packets | Number of Tx Packets to buffer ( default: 400 (600k) ) ( 100 (150k) <= Packets <= 10000 (15MB) ) |
| -l LAN | Logical Network Id to probe ( default: 0 (ALL) ) ( 0 <= LAN <= 10 ) |
| -n Names | Number of host Names to buffer ( default: 1000 (110k) ) ( 100 (11k) <= Names <= 100000 (11MB) ) |
The network probe buffers received and transmitted packets and runs even when the photon main application is not running.
Arguments:
| -r Packets | Number of Rx Packets to buffer ( default: 2000 (3MB) ) ( 100 (150k) <= Packets <= 50000 (75MB) ) |
| -t Packets | Number of Tx Packets to buffer ( default: 400 (600k) ) ( 100 (150k) <= Packets <= 10000 (15MB) ) |
| -l LAN | Logical Network Id to probe ( default: 0 (ALL) ) ( 0 <= LAN <= 10 ) |
The background IP to host name resolver finds host names and buffers them to avoid redundant resolution.
Arguments:
| -n Names | Number of host Names to buffer ( default: 1000 (110k) ) ( 100 (11k) <= Names <= 100000 (11MB) ) |
This shell script will uninstall the application and all its components from your hard drive.
This file contains the list of hosts gathered from the network, you can
edit it to add information that have not been found
by the application, like IP, host name or Logical Net Id / Node Id of the hosts.
The information gathered from the netmap and the ARP table always supersede
those recorded in this file, so
to change erroneous information you will need to either correct your netmap
or your ARP table.
This file contains the memorized preferences and settings of the
application.
