ramd(1M)ramd(1M)NAMEramd - Route Administration Manager Daemon (RAMD) for IPv6
SYNOPSIS
config_file] trace_options] [trace_file]
DESCRIPTION
is a routing daemon that manages routing for IPv6. handles RIPng, BGP,
and IS-IS routing protocols. and are referred to as routing daemons.
can be configured using the configuration file Upon startup, reads the
configuration file and spawns the routing daemons, if it is configured.
However, the command-line option trace_file is applicable only to
maintains a routing table in user space and synchronizes it with the
HP-UX kernel routing table. periodically checks the kernel interface
table and the route table for any updates or changes. It notifies the
corresponding daemons about the updates.
Options
supports the following command-line options:
Parses the configuration file for syntax errors and terminates exits
with a status 0 if the configuration file contains no errors. If the
configuration file contains errors, exits with a non-zero value.
prints the configuration file errors, if any, to the standard output.
Specifies that
runs as a normal process and not as a daemon process.
Parses the configuration file for syntax errors and terminates
It leaves a dump file, if the configuration file does not have
any syntax errors.
Specifies an alternate configuration file to be used by
By default, uses
Specifies that
does not modify the kernel forwarding table.
Suppresses the
messages of and routing daemons. Using this option, can sup‐
press the informational messages that are normally printed to
the standard output, and log error messages through syslogd(1M).
By default, errors are logged in
Specifies a comma-separated list of trace options to
be enabled during startup. A space cannot be entered between
this option and its arguments.
This option can be used to trace events that occur before the
configuration file is parsed, such as determining the interface
configuration and reading routes from the kernel.
See the ramd.conf(4) manpage for information on tracing and
valid trace options.
The trace options, cannot be specified with the command-line
option.
trace_file
Specifies the name of the file used by the daemon to log tracing
information.
Signal Processing
The following signals are used to control
Specifies to reread the configuration file. reads the configuration
file and reconfigures its policies. also checks if it
must start and stop the protocol daemons.
Specifies that the current state of
is written to
Graceful shutdown.
On receipt of attempts a graceful shutdown.
removes all protocol routes from the HP-UX 11i v1 kernel
routing table on receiving Interface routes and static
routes remain with the retain option. can be used to ter‐
minate with all the routes intact. It may be necessary to
repeat the once or twice if delays its termination.
Toggle tracing.
If tracing is enabled, suspends tracing and closes the
trace file. If tracing is disabled, opens the trace file
and initiates tracing. This is useful for moving trace
files.
signal cannot be used, if does not enable tracing in the
configuration file.
Checks for interface changes.
On receipt of rescans the kernel interface list for
changes.
EXAMPLES
To use an alternate configuration file for instead of the default con‐
figuration file, invoke as follows:
To log tracing related information to the trace options and invoke as
follows :
logs the trace information that is related to the configuration file
and the kernel interface table, in the log file
