The
utility is a routing daemon which supports RIP over IPv6.
Options are:
-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
.
-R routelog
This option makes the
to 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,
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...]
The
utility creates a static route to
prefix/preflen
with
RTF_REJECT
flag, into the kernel routing table.
-d
Enables output of debugging message.
This option also instructs
to run in foreground mode
(does not become daemon).
-D
Enables extensive output of debugging message.
This option also instructs
to run in foreground mode
(does not become daemon).
-h
Disables the split horizon processing.
-l
By default,
will not exchange site local routes for safety reasons.
This is because semantics of site local address space is rather vague
(specification is still in being worked),
and there is no good way to define site local boundary.
With
-l
option,
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...]
The
utility will accept incoming routes that are in
prefix/preflen
If multiple
-L
options are specified, any routes that match one of the options is accepted.
::/0
is treated specially as default route, not
Do any route that has longer prefix length than, or equal to 0
Dc .
If you would like to accept any route, specify no
-L
option.
For example, with
Do -L3ffe::/16,if1
-L::/0,if1
Dc
will accept default route and routes in 6bone test address, but no others.
-n
Do not update the kernel routing table.
-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
will only advertise routes that matches
prefix/preflen
-q
Makes
in listen-only mode.
No advertisement is sent.
-s
Makes
to advertise the statically defined routes which exist in the kernel routing
table when
invoked.
Announcements obey the regular split horizon rule.
-S
This option is the same as
-s
option except that no split horizon rule does apply.
-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
will dump the current internal state into
/var/run/route6d_dump
FILES
/var/run/route6d_dump
dumps internal state on
SIGINT
or
SIGUSR1

NOTE
The
utility uses IPv6 advanced API,
defined in RFC2292,
for communicating with peers using link-local addresses.
Internally
embeds interface identifier into bit 32 to 63 of link-local addresses
( fe80::xx
and
ff02::xx
so they will be visible on internal state dump file
(/var/run/route6d_dump
)
Routing table manipulation differs from IPv6 implementation to implementation.
Currently
obeys WIDE Hydrangea/KAME IPv6 kernel,
and will not be able to run on other platforms.
Current
does not reduce the rate of the triggered updates when consecutive updates
arrive.
