ripd — Routing Information Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

ripd is the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) daemon which manages routers' routing tables.

-d

Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, ripd will run in the foreground and log to stderr.

Specify an alternative configuration file.

-n

Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.

-s socket

Use an alternate location for the default control socket.

-v

Produce more verbose output.
