route6d - IPv6 RIP Routing Daemon
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.19. Added in IRIX 6.5.19.
NAME route6d - IPv6 RIP Routing Daemon SYNOPSIS route6d [-adDhlqsS] [-R routelog] [-A prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...]] [-L prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...]] [-N if1[,if2...]] [-O prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...]] [-T if1[,if2...]] [-t tag] DESCRIPTION route6d is a routing daemon which supports RIP over IPv6. OPTIONS -a Enables aging of the statically defined routes. With this option, any statically defined routes will be removed unless corresponding updates arrive as if the routes are received at the startup of route6d. -R routelog This option makes route6d log the route change (add/delete) to the file routelog. -A prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...] This option is used for aggregating routes. prefix/preflen specifies the prefix and the prefix length of the aggregated route. When advertising routes, route6d filters specific routes covered by the aggregate, and advertises the aggregated route prefix/preflen, to the interfaces specified in the comma-separated interface list, if1[,if2...]. route6d creates a static route to prefix/preflen with RTF_REJECT flag, into the kernel routing table. -d Enables output of debugging messages. This option also instructs route6d to run in foreground mode (does not become a daemon). -D Enables extensive output of debugging messages. This option also instructs route6d to run in foreground mode (does not become a daemon). -h Disables the split horizon processing. -l By default, route6d will not exchange site local routes for safety reasons. This is because the semantics of site local address space is rather vague (the specification is still being worked on), and there is no good way to define the site local boundary. With the -l option, route6d will exchange site local routes as well. It must not be used on site boundary routers, since -l option assumes that all interfaces are in the same site. -L prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...] Filter incoming routes from interfaces if1,[if2...]. route6d will accept incoming routes that are in prefix/preflen. If multiple -L options are specified, any routes that match one of the options are accepted. ::/0 is treated specially as default route, not ``any route that has longer prefix length than, or equal to 0''. If you would like to accept any route, specify no -L option. For example, with ``-L 3ffe::/16,if1 -L ::/0,if1'' route6d will accept default route and routes in 6bone test address, but no others. -N if1[,if2...] Do not listen to, or advertise, route from/to interfaces specified by if1,[if2...]. -O prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...] Restrict route advertisement toward interfaces specified by if1,[if2...]. With this option route6d will only advertise routes that matches prefix/preflen. -q Makes route6d go into listen-only mode. No advertisement is sent. -s Makes route6d advertise the statically defined routes which exist in the kernel routing table when route6d invoked. Announcements obey the regular split horizon rule. -S This option is the same as -s option except that no split horizon rule applies. -T if1[,if2...] Advertise only default route toward if1,[if2...]. -t tag Attach route tag "tag" to originated route entries. tag can be decimal, octal prefixed by 0, or hexadecimal prefixed by 0x. Upon receipt of signal SIGINT or SIGUSR1, route6d will dump the current internal state into /var/run/route6d_dump. FILES /var/run/route6d_dump dumps internal state on SIGINT or SIGUSR1 SEE ALSO G. Malkin, and R. Minnear, RIPng for IPv6, RFC2080, January 1997. NOTE Route6d uses IPv6 advanced API, defined in RFC2292, for communicating with peers using link-local addresses. Current route6d does not reduce the rate of the triggered updates when consecutive updates arrive.
