rtradvd - Router Advertisement daemon for IPv6
SYNOPSIS
configfile] debuglevel] pidfile] [debugfile]
DESCRIPTION
the router advertisement daemon for IPv6, implements router functionality as specified by RFC 2461 ("Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6").
The daemon listens to router solicitation and sends router advertisement messages on demand and periodically as described in "Neighbor Dis-
covery for IP Version 6". These advertisements allow any listening host to configure their addresses and some other parameters automati-
cally without manual intervention. They can also choose a default router based on these advertisements.
Router advertisement is configured on a per interface basis, as described in rtradvd.conf(4). The "PRIVATE" flag on each interface must be
cleared in order to enable sending Router Advertisement packets out on that particular interface as described by ifconfig(1M). The daemon
does not listen on an interface when the "PRIVATE" flag is set.
also implements four new Mobile IPv6 ICMPv6 message types, two for use in the dynamic home agent address discovery mechanism, and two for
mobile configuration mechanisms. These four new ICMPv6 messages are activated if "Home Agent Flag" (see rtradvd.conf(4)) is enabled on any
configured interface and the daemon detects the Mobile IPv6 kernel module during startup (see mip6mod(7)) or via mip6admin(1M) utility. In
this case, sends the list of prefixes configured with the "Router Address Flag" set to allowing the node to act as a home agent on all the
links corresponding to these prefixes (see rtradvd.conf(4)).
Options
Specifies that the configuration file will be parsed for syntax
errors and coherency. Any syntax error or incoherency data is printed to will exit with a status 1 if there were any
errors or 0 (zero) if there were not. All other command line options except are ignored.
Use a configuration file other than
Print debugging information. If
debugfile is not specified, the daemon stays in foreground mode. A number after the determines the level of messages
printed. The level must be an integer in the range from 1 to 10, with higher numbers resulting in greater detail in
debug messages.
Disable printing the inconsistency information via
syslog(3C) in router advertisement messages received from other routers on the link.
Use a pid file other than
debugfile Specifies a debug file in which to place debug information. If a debug file is specified on the command line,
detaches from the terminal and runs in the background. Otherwise, assumes that debugging is desired to stderr and
remains in the foreground.
The daemon includes Mobile IPv6 options in Router Advertisement messages when the configuration file contains the specific Mobile IPv6 key-
words (see rtradvd.conf(4)).
The daemon can be started during boot-time initialization. To do so, see for entries.
The following signals have the specified effect when sent to the server process using the kill(1) command:
causes to read the configuration file and reload the database. If the configuration file contains an error or inconsistency,
the daemon continues with the old configuration database. The file should be checked for errors.
terminates gracefully. In this case, before exiting, will transmit router advertisement with Router Lifetime 0 to all the listen-
ing interfaces. This can take up to 10 seconds.
DIAGNOSTICS
Any errors encountered by in the configuration file, or in normal operation are logged via syslog(3C).
NOTE
The following ICMPv6 types are assigned for Mobile IPv6:
Home Agent Address Discovery Request: ICMPv6 type 144
Home Agent Address Discovery Reply: ICMPv6 type 145
Mobile Prefix Solicitation: ICMPv6 type 146
Mobile Prefix Advertisement: ICMPv6 type 147
