ospfctl
— control
the Open Shortest Path First daemon
ospfctl |
[-s socket]
command [argument ...] |
The ospfctl
program controls the
ospfd(8) daemon. Commands may
be abbreviated to the minimum unambiguous prefix; for example,
s s
for show summary
.
The following options are available:
-s
socket
- Use socket instead of the default
/var/run/ospfd.sock to communicate with
ospfd(8).
The following commands are available:
fib
couple
- Insert the learned routes into the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the
kernel routing table.
fib
decouple
- Remove the learned routes from the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the
kernel routing table. Decoupling the FIB from an OSPF router may create
routing loops and could cause major routing issues in the complete OSPF
cloud. Only routers with just one link to the OSPF cloud can safely
decouple the FIB.
fib
reload
- Refetches and relearns the routes in the Forwarding Information Base
a.k.a. the kernel routing table.
log
brief
- Disable verbose debug logging.
log
verbose
- Enable verbose debug logging.
reload
