NAME
    route6d -- RIP6 routing daemon

SYNOPSIS
    route6d [-adDhlnqsS] [-R routelog] [-A prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...]]
            [-L prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...]] [-N if1[,if2...]]
            [-O prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...]] [-T if1[,if2...]] [-t tag]

DESCRIPTION
    The route6d is a routing daemon which supports RIP over IPv6.

    Options are:

    -a      Enables aging of the statically defined routes.  With this
            option, any statically defined routes will be removed unless cor-
            responding updates arrive as if the routes are received at the
            startup of route6d.

    -R routelog
            This option makes route6d log route changes (add/delete) to the
            file routelog.

    -A prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...]
            This option is used for aggregating routes.  prefix/preflen spec-
            ifies the prefix and the prefix length of the aggregated route.
            When advertising routes, route6d filters specific routes covered
            by the aggregate and advertises the aggregated route
            prefix/preflen to the interfaces specified in the comma-separated
            interface list if1[,if2...].  route6d creates a static route to
            prefix/preflen, with the RTF_REJECT flag set, into the kernel
            routing table.

    -d      Enables output of debugging messages.  This option also instructs
            route6d to run in foreground mode (i.e., it does not become a
            daemon process).

    -D      Enables extensive output of debugging messages.  This option also
            instructs route6d to run in foreground mode (i.e., it does not
            become a daemon process).

    -h      Disables split horizon processing.

    -l      By default, route6d will not exchange site local routes for
            safety reasons.  This is because the semantics of site local
            address space are rather vague, as the specification is still
            being worked on, and there is no good way to define the site
            local boundary.  With -l, route6d will exchange site local routes
            as well.  It must not be used on site boundary routers, since -l
            assumes that all interfaces are in the same site.

    -L prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...]
            Filter incoming routes from interfaces if1,[if2...].  route6d
            will accept incoming routes that are in prefix/preflen.  If mul-
            tiple -L options are specified, all routes that match any of the
            options are accepted.  ::/0 is treated specially as default
            route, not ``any route that has longer prefix length than, or
            equal to 0''.  If you would like to accept any route, specify no
            -L option.  For example, with ``-L 3ffe::/16,if1 -L ::/0,if1''
            route6d will accept the default route and routes in the 6bone
            test address range, but no others.

    -n      Do not update the kernel routing table.

    -N if1[,if2...]
            Do not listen to, or advertise, route from/to interfaces speci-
            fied by if1,[if2...].

    -O prefix/preflen,if1[,if2...]
            Restrict route advertisement toward interfaces specified by
            if1,[if2...].  With this option route6d will only advertise
            routes that match prefix/preflen.

    -q      Makes route6d use listen-only mode.  No advertisement is sent.

    -s      Makes route6d advertise the statically defined routes which exist
            in the kernel routing table when route6d is invoked.  Announce-
            ments obey the regular split horizon rule.

    -S      This option is the same as -s, except that the split horizon rule
            does apply.

    -T if1[,if2...]
            Advertise only the default route toward if1,[if2...].

    -t tag  Attach the route tag tag to originated route entries.  tag can be
            decimal, octal prefixed by 0, or hexadecimal prefixed by 0x.

    Upon receipt of signal SIGINT or SIGUSR1, route6d will dump the current
    internal state into /var/run/route6d_dump.

FILES
    /var/run/route6d_dump  contains the internal state dumps created if
                           route6d receives a SIGINT or SIGUSR1 signal

NOTES
    route6d uses the advanced IPv6 API, defined in RFC 2292, for communicat-
    ing with peers using link-local addresses.

    Internally route6d embeds interface identifiers into bits 32 to 63 of
    link-local addresses (fe80::xx and ff02::xx) so they will be visible in
    the internal state dump file (/var/run/route6d_dump).

    Routing table manipulation differs from IPv6 implementation to implemen-
    tation.  Currently route6d obeys the WIDE Hydrangea/KAME IPv6 kernel, and
    will not be able to run on other platforms.

    Currently, route6d does not reduce the rate of the triggered updates when
    consecutive updates arrive.
