NAME

rpki-client — RPKI validator to support BGP Origin Validation

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The rpki-client utility queries the RPKI repository system with openrsync(1) to fetch all X.509 certificates, manifests, and revocation lists under a given Trust Anchor. rpki-client subsequently validates each Route Origin Authorization (ROA) by constructing and verifying a certification path for the certificate associated with the ROA (including checking relevant CRLs). rpki-client produces lists of the Validated ROA Payloads (VRPs) in various formats.

The options are as follows:

-B

Create output in the file bird in the output directory which is suitable for the BIRD internet routing daemon.

-b sourceaddr

Tell the rsync client to use sourceaddr as the source address for connections, which is useful on machines with multiple interfaces.

-c

Create output in the file csv in the output directory as comma-separated values of the prefix in slash notation, the maximum prefix length, the autonomous system number, and an abbreviation for the trust anchor the entry is derived from.

-d cachedir

The directory where rpki-client will store the cached repository data. Defaults to /var/cache/rpki-client.

-e rsync_prog

Use rsync_prog instead of openrsync(1) to fetch repositories. It must accept the -rt and --address flags and connect with rsync-protocol locations.

-j

Create output in the file json in the output directory as JSON object. This format is identical to that produced by the RIPE NCC RPKI Validator and NLnet Labs routinator.

-n

Assume that all requested repositories exist: don't update.

-o

Create output in the file openbgpd in the output directory as bgpd(8) compatible input. If the -B, -c, and -j options are not specified this is the default.

-T table

For BIRD output generated with the -B option use table as roa table name instead of the default 'ROAS'.

-s timeout

Terminate after timeout seconds of runtime, because normal practice will restart from cron(8). Disable by specifying 0. Defaults to 1 hour.

-t tal

Specify a Trust Anchor Location (TAL) file to be used. This option can be used multiple times to load multiple TALs. By default rpki-client will load all TAL files in /etc/rpki.

-v

Specified once, prints information about status. Twice, prints each filename as it's processed.

outputdir

The directory where rpki-client will write the output files. Defaults to /var/db/rpki-client/.

By default rpki-client produces a list of unique roa-set statements in -o (OpenBGPD compatible) output.

rpki-client should be run hourly by cron(8): use crontab(1) to uncomment the entry in root's crontab.

FILES

/etc/rpki/*.tal

default TAL files used unless -t tal is specified.

/var/cache/rpki-client

cached repository data.

/var/db/rpki-client/openbgpd

default roa-set output file.

EXIT STATUS

The rpki-client utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
