gate <subcommands>
The gate command manages the tcpgate server, which accepts connects to certain tcp ports, and logically redirects them to another host and/or tcp port. Thus it is only one half of a proxy server! This command requires JNOS to be compiled with #define TCPGATE .
gate invoked without arguements, displays the current state of any active connections through the tcpgate code. On the left is the originating address and port, on the right is the destination address and port, as determined by the 'start gate...' command, and in the center is the port that was used by tcpgate to trap the connection.
gate status Displays the manner in which incoming connections are mapped to what outgoing ones. It also displays the number of client connections allowed and the inactivity timeout.
gate maxcli Determines how many clients may connect through the tcpgate at any one time.
gate tdisc <seconds> Determines the inactivity timeout (in seconds) as measured by data SENT to the client. A value of zero disables this feature.
start gate port hostname [port] This is used to start up the tcpgate server on a particular port. The server listens for connection on that port and accepts them. It then makes a connection to the nominated hostname (with optionally a new port number - otherwise the same port number as is listened for is used). The 'gate status' command may be used to determine what ports have already been configured. This command generates a failure if that port number is already in use.
