ospfctlcontrol the OSPF routing 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:

socket
Use socket instead of the default /var/run/ospfd.sock to communicate with ospfd(8).

The following commands are available:

Insert the learned routes into the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the kernel routing table.
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.
Refetches and relearns the routes in the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the kernel routing table.
Disable verbose debug logging.
Enable verbose debug logging.
Reload the configuration file.
[filter]

ID
