.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Rtsold
|
|
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.
|
|
.Lp
|
|
Specifically,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
sends at most 3 Router Solicitations on an interface
|
|
after one of the following events:
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Just after invocation of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon.
|
|
.It
|
|
The interface is up after a temporary interface failure.
|
|
.Nm Rtsold
|
|
detects it by periodically probing if the status of the
|
|
interface is active or not.
|
|
Note that some network cards and drivers do not allow users
|
|
to extract link state.
|
|
In such cases,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
cannot detect the change of the interface status.
|
|
.It
|
|
Every one minute if
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
option is specified and
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon cannot get the interface status.
|
|
This feature does not conform to IPv6 neighbor discovery
|
|
specification, but is provided for mobile stations.
|
|
Default interval of 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 another link.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Lp
|
|
Once
|
|
.Nm
|
|
sends a Router Solicitation, and receives a valid Router Advertisement,
|
|
it desists 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 its link-layer address.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon receipt of signal
|
|
.Dv SIGUSR1 ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will dump the current internal state into
|
|
.Pa /var/tmp/rtsold.dump.

.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.\"
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Enable debugging.
|
|
.It Fl D
|
|
Enable more debugging including to print internal timer information.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
prevents
|
|
.Nm
|
|
from becoming a daemon (foreground mode).
|
|
Warning messages are generated to standard error output,
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Xr syslog 3 .
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Enable mobility support.
|
|
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
|
|
.Dv SIOCGIFMEDIA
|
|
ioctl.
|
|
.It Fl 1
|
|
Perform only one probe.
|
|
Transmit Router Solcitation packet until valid Router Advertisement packet
|
|
arrives all the interfaces more than once, then exit.

|
|
The

|
.Nm
|
|
command is based on
|
|
.Nm rtsol
|
|
command, which first appeared in WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit.
|

.Nm rtsol
|

is now integrated into
