.Sh NAME

|
|
.Nd router advertisement daemon
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl c Ar configfile
|
|
.Op Fl dDfmRs
|
|
.Ar interface ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
advertises router advertisement packet to the specified
|
|
.Ar interfaces .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The program will daemonize itself on invocation.
|
|
It will then periodically send router advertisement packets, as well
|
|
as in response to router solicitation messages sent by end hosts.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Router advertisements can be configured on a per-interface basis, as
|
|
described in
|
|
.Xr rtadvd.conf 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the event of no configuration file entry for an interface,
|
|
or if the configuration file does not exist altogether,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
sets all the parameters to their default values.
|
|
In particular,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads all the interface routes from the routing table and advertises
|
|
them as on-link prefixes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
also watches the routing table.
|
|
By default, if an interface direct route is
|
|
added/deleted on an advertising interface and no static prefixes are
|
|
specified by the configuration file,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
adds/deletes the corresponding prefix to/from its advertising list,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic Fl s
|
|
may be used to disable this behavior.
|
|
Moreover, if the status of an advertising interface changes,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will start or stop sending router advertisements according
|
|
to the latest status.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command line options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.\"
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Specify an alternate location,
|
|
.Ar configfile ,
|
|
for the configuration file.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Pa /etc/rtadvd.conf
|
|
is used.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Print debugging information.
|
|
.It Fl D
|
|
Even more debugging information is printed.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Foreground mode (useful when debugging).
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Enables mobile IPv6 support.
|
|
This changes the content of router advertisement option, as well as
|
|
permitted configuration directives.
|
|
.It Fl R
|
|
Accept router renumbering requests.
|
|
If you enable it, certain IPsec setup is suggested for security reasons.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Do not add or delete prefixes dynamically.
|
|
Only statically configured prefixes, if any, will be advertised.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon receipt of signal
|
|
.Dv SIGUSR1 ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will dump the current internal state into
|
|
.Pa /var/run/rtadvd.dump.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Use
|
|
.Dv SIGTERM
|
|
to kill
|
|
.Nm
|
|
gracefully.
|
|
In this case,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will transmit router advertisement with router lifetime 0
|
|
to all the interfaces
|
|
.Pq according to RFC2461 6.2.5 .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The program exits with 0 on success, and non-zero on failures.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width /etc/rtadvd.conf -compact
|
|
.It Pa /etc/rtadvd.conf
|
|
The default configuration file.
|
|
.It Pa /var/run/rtadvd.pid
|
|
contains pid of the currently running
|
|
.Nm rtadvd .
|
|
.It Pa /var/run/rtadvd.dump
|
|
on which
|
|
.Nm
|
|
dumps its internal state.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command first appeared in WIDE Hydrangea IPv6 protocol stack kit.
|
|
.Sh CAVEAT
|
|
Router advertisements should only be performed downstream.
|
|
Erroneous upstream advertisements will cause
|
|
.Xr icmp6 4
|
|
redirect packet storms in the subnet, as (per the specification) the
|
|
advertising router is assumed to become the default router for
|
|
end hosts in the subnet.
