# Config file format 

 Initial state of NFD daemon is configured using an [INFO file](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/boost_propertytree/parsers.html#boost_propertytree.parsers.info_parser). 

 ## Example configuration 

     ; the general process section contains settings of nfd process 
     general process 
     { 

     } 
    
     log 
     { 
     
       pidfile /tmp/nfd.pid ; default_level specifies the logging level for modules 
     ; that are not explicitly named. All debugging levels 
     ; listed above the selected value are enabled. 
     ; 
     ; Valid levels: 
     ; 
     ;    NONE ; no messages 
     ;    ERROR ; error messages 
     ;    WARN ; warning messages 
     ;    INFO ; informational messages (default) 
     ;    DEBUG ; debugging messages 
     ;    TRACE ; trace messages (most verbose) 
     ;    ALL ; all messages 

       default_level WARN 

     ; You may override default_level by assigning a logging level 
     ; filename to the desired module name. Module names can be found in two ways: write PID upon startup 
     ; 
     ; Run: 
     ;     nfd --modules 
     ; 
     ; Or look for NFD_LOG_INIT(<module name>) statements in .cpp files 
 
       FibManager DEBUG 
       Forwarder INFO 
     } 

     
    
     ; the face_system section defines what faces and channels are created

       ; the tcp section contains settings of TCP faces and channels 
       tcp 
       { 
         listen yes ; set to 'no' to disable TCP listener, default 'yes'

       } 
      
       ; the udp section contains settings of UDP faces and channels 
       udp 
       { 
         port 6363 ; UDP unicast port number 
         idle_timeout 30 ; idle time (seconds) before closing a UDP unicast face 
         keep_alive_interval 25; interval (seconds) between keep-alive refreshes 
        
         ; NFD creates one UDP multicast face per NIC 
         mcast yes ; set to 'no' to disable UDP multicast, default 'yes' 
         mcast_port 56363 ; UDP multicast port number 
         mcast_group 224.0.23.170 ; UDP multicast group (IPv4 only) 
       } 
      
       ; the ether section contains settings of Ethernet faces and channels 
       ether 
       { 
         ; NFD creates one Ethernet multicast face per NIC 
         mcast yes ; set to 'no' to disable Ethernet multicast, default 'yes' 
         mcast_group 01:00:5E:00:17:AA ; Ethernet multicast group 
       } 
     } 

     ; the authorizations section grants privileges to authorized NDN certificates keys
