.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is the daemon program to send ICMPv6 Router Solicitation messages
|
|
on the specified interfaces.
|
|
If a node (re)attaches to a link,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
sends some Router Solicitations on the link destined to the link-local scope
|
|
all-routers multicast address to discover new routers
|
|
and to get non link-local addresses.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
should be used on IPv6 hosts
|
|
(non-router nodes)
|
|
only.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you invoke the program as
|
|
.Nm rtsol ,
|
|
it will transmit probes from the specified
|
|
.Ar interface ,
|
|
without becoming a daemon.
|
|
In other words,
|
|
.Nm rtsol
|
|
behaves as
|
|
.Do
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Fl f1
|
|
.Ar interfaces
|
|
.Dc .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Specifically,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
sends at most 3 Router Solicitations on an interface
|
|
after one of the following events:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Just after invocation of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon.
|
|
.It
|
|
The interface is up after a temporary interface failure.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
detects such failures by periodically probing to see if the status
|
|
of the interface is active or not.
|
|
Note that some network cards and drivers do not allow the extraction
|
|
of link state.
|
|
In such cases,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
cannot detect the change of the interface status.
|
|
.It
|
|
Every 60 seconds if the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
option is specified and the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon cannot get the interface status.
|
|
This feature does not conform to the IPv6 neighbor discovery
|
|
specification, but is provided for mobile stations.
|
|
The default interval for router advertisements, which is on the order of 10
|
|
minutes, is slightly long for mobile stations.
|
|
This feature is provided
|
|
for such stations so that they can find new routers as soon as possible
|
|
when they attach to another link.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Lp
|
|
Once
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has sent a Router Solicitation, and has received a valid Router Advertisement,
|
|
it refrains from sending additional solicitations on that interface, until
|
|
the next time one of the above events occurs.
|
|
.Lp
|
|
When sending a Router Solicitation on an interface,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
includes a Source Link-layer address option if the interface
|
|
has a link-layer address.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon receipt of signal
|
|
.Dv SIGUSR1 ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will dump the current internal state into
|
|
.Pa /var/run/rtsold.dump .

|
|
will exit with error.

Warning messages are generated to standard error

|
|
If this option is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
sends probing packets to default routers that have advertised Router
|
|
Advertisements
|
|
when the node (re)attaches to an interface.
|
|
Moreover, if the option is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
periodically sends Router Solicitation on an interface that does not support

ioctl.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command is based on the
|
|
.Nm rtsol
|
|
command, which first appeared in WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit.
|
|
.Nm rtsol
|
|
is now integrated into
|
|
.Xr rtsold 8 .

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
In some operating systems, when a PCMCIA network card is removed
|
|
and reinserted, the corresponding interface index is changed.
|
|
However,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
assumes such changes will not occur, and always uses the index that
|
|
it got at invocation. As a result,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may not work if you reinsert a network card.
|
|
In such a case,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
should be killed and restarted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The IPv6 autoconfiguration specification assumes a single-interface host.
|
|
You may see kernel error messages if you try to autoconfigure a host with
|
|
multiple interfaces.
|
|
Also, it seems contradictory for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to accept multiple
|
|
.Ar interface
|
|
arguments.
