NAME

     ldpd -- Label Distribution Protocol Daemon

SYNOPSIS

     ldpd [-DdfhW] [-c config_file] [-p port]

DESCRIPTION

     ldpd is a utility used to automatically distribute labels between two MPLS LSRs almost conforming to RFC3036.  Right now it is in BETA stage
     and many features are not implemented or may not work.  As a security measure you SHOULD filter the LDP well-known (646) TCP and UDP ports
     using your favourite packet filter before starting ldpd.  Also this is the current measure used to filter neighbours.  You should see some
     logs reported via syslog(3) interface.

     You can increase the log verbosity using the -W and -D flags.  Also you can telnet to the control port (default: 2626) and use this interface
     in order to get informations about protocol, neighbours etc. but also to set runtime parameters.  The required password is the same as the
     root password.

     ldpd computes existing routes and tries to match them on MPLS labels announced by other LDP peers.  This means that ``normal'' routes will be
     changed into tagged routes, and MPLS routing table will be populated.  It will also announce its mappings to its peers.  ldpd will listen on
     a route socket and compute the necessary changes in order to change untagged routes into tagged routes.  This means that one may use one's
     favourite dynamic routing protocol daemon without modifications.

     The options are as follows:

     -c config_file   Specifies a path to the config file.  Default: /etc/ldpd.conf - see ldpd.conf(5) for configuration file format.

     -D 	      Enable debug mode.

     -d 	      Don't use route interception code.

     -f 	      Run in foreground.  Use STDOUT for warning and debug messages.

     -h 	      Outputs supported flags.

     -p port	      Changes the TCP control port (default: 2626).

     -W 	      Enable output of warning messages.

HISTORY

     The ldpd command appeared in NetBSD 6.0.

BUGS

     ldpd supports only IPv4 and doesn't implement Path Vector and Hop Count TLVs.

NAME

       routes - Specifies Internet routing information to the routing tables

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/routes

DESCRIPTION

       Static  routes  can  be defined in the /etc/routes file.  The /etc/routes file identifies static routes that are automatically added to the
       network routing tables with the /usr/sbin/route add command.  The /sbin/init.d/route script contains the /usr/sbin/route add  command  that
       is executed for each entry in the /etc/routes file when the network is restarted on the system or the system is rebooted.

       The general format of an entry in the /etc/routes file is: Dest Name1 Name2

       The  following is a brief description of each element in an /etc/routes file entry: A keyword that indicates whether the route is to a net-
       work or to a host. The two possible keywords are -net and -host.  The name or address of the destination network or  host.   Name1  can	be
       either  a  symbolic  name (as used in the /etc/hosts or /etc/networks file) or an Internet address specified in dotted-decimal format.  The
       name or address of the gateway host to which messages should be forwarded.  Name2 can be either a symbolic name (as used in the	/etc/hosts
       file) or an Internet address specified in dotted-decimal format.

       The  routes file is a Context-Dependent Symbolic Link (CDSL) and must be maintained as such.  See the System Administration manual for more
       information.

EXAMPLES

       To specify a route to a network through a gateway host with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

       -net net2 host4

	      This example specifies a route to a network, net2, through the gateway host4.  To specify a route to a host through a  gateway  host
	      with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

	      -host host2 host4

	      This  example  specifies	a route to a host, host2, through the gateway host4.  To specify a route to a default gateway host with an
	      entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

	      default 130.9.0.5

	      This example specifies a route to a default gateway with an Internet address of 130.9.0.5.

FILES

       Contains the /usr/sbin/routed add command.
