RIPQUERY(8)	    Cornell GateDaemon Project	      RIPQUERY(8)

NAME
       ripquery - query RIP gateways

SYNOPSIS
       ripquery	 [  -1	]  [  -2  ] [ -[a5] authkey ] [ -n ] [ -N
       dest[/mask] [ -p ] [ -r ] [ -v ] [ -w time ] gateway ...

DESCRIPTION
       Ripquery is used to request all	routes	known  by  a  RIP
       gateway	by  sending  a	RIP  request or POLL command. The
       routing information in any  routing  packets  returned  is
       displayed   numerically	and  symbolically.   Ripquery  is
       intended to be used as a tool for debugging gateways,  not
       for network management. SNMP is the preferred protocol for
       network management.

       Ripquery by default uses the RIP POLL command, which is an
       undocumented  extension to the RIP specification supported
       by routed on SunOS 3.x and later	 and  by  gated	 1.4  and
       later.	The  RIP  POLL	command is preferred over the RIP
       REQUEST command because it is not subject to Split Horizon
       and/or Poisoned Reverse. See the RIP RFC for more informa-
       tion.

OPTIONS
       -1     Send the query as a version 1 packet.

       -2     Send the query as a version 2 packet (default).

       -[a5] authkey
	      Specifies the authentication password  to	 use  for
	      queries. If -a specified, an authentication type of
	      SIMPLE will be used, if -5 is specified, an authen-
	      tication	type  of  MD5 will be used, otherwise the
	      default is an authentication type of NONE.  Authen-
	      tication	fields	in  incoming packets will be dis-
	      played, but not validated.

       -n     Prevents the address of the  responding  host  from
	      being looked up to determine the symbolic name.

       -N dest[/mask]
	      Specifies	 that  the query should be for the speci-
	      fied dest/mask instead of complete  routing  table.
	      The  specification  of  the optional mask implies a
	      version 2 query. Up to 23 requests  about	 specific
	      destinations may be include in one packet.

       -p     Uses  the	 RIP  POLL command to request information
	      from the routing table. This is the default, but is
	      an  undocumented	extension  supported only by some
	      versions of SunOS 3.x and later versions of  gated.
	      If  there	 is  no response to the RIP POLL command,
	      the RIP REQUEST command is tried. Gated responds to
	      a POLL command with all the routes learned via RIP.

       -r     Used the RIP REQUEST command to request information
	      from  the	 gateway's  routing table. Unlike the RIP
	      POLL command, all gateways should support	 the  RIP
	      REQUEST. If there is no response to the RIP REQUEST
	      command, the  RIP	 POLL  command	is  tried.  Gated
	      responds	to  a REQUEST command with all the routes
	      he anounces out the  specified  interface.  Due  to
	      limitations  in the UDP interface, on systems based
	      on BSD 4.3 Reno or earlier, REQUESTs respond  about
	      the  interface  used  to	route packets back to the
	      sender. This can be avoided by running ripquery  on
	      the host being queried.

       -v     Version  information  about  ripquery  is displayed
	      before querying the gateways.

       -w time
	      Specifies the time in seconds to wait for the  ini-
	      tial  response from a gateway. The default value is
	      5 seconds.
