/usr/bin/photon/phnetprobe :

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 (3k) <= Hosts <= 2000 (3MB) )

-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) )

 

~/.photon/phnetprobe/phnetprobe.hosts :

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.

 

~/.photon/phnetprobe/phnetprobe.cfg :

This file contains the memorized preferences and settings of the application.
