NAME

ripd — Routing Information Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS

ripd	[-dnv] [-D macro=value] [-f file] [-s socket]

DESCRIPTION

ripd is the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) daemon which manages routers' routing tables. A running ripd can be controlled with the ripctl(8) utility. The options are as follows:

 

 

-D macro=value

Define macro to be set to value on the command line. Overrides the definition of macro in the configuration file.

 

 

-d

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

 

 

-f file

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.

FILES
