.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm

.Op Fl c Ar configfile
|
|
.Op Fl dDfs
|
|
.Ar interface ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Rtadvd
|
|
advertises router advertisement packet to the specified
|
|
.Ar interfaces .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The program will daemonize itself on invocation.
|
|
Then, it will voluntarily send router advertisement packet periodically.
|
|
If a router solicitation packet from host has reached the program,
|
|
the program will respond by router advertisement packet.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For each interface, which is called advertising interface,
|
|
content of router advertisement can be described in
|
|
.Xr rtadvd.conf 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If there is no description for the interface in the configuration file
|
|
or if the configuration file does not exist,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
sets all the parameters to their default values.
|
|
In particular,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
gets all the interface routes from the routing table and advertises
|
|
them as on-link prefixes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Rtadvd
|
|
watches the routing table.
|
|
By default, if an interface direct route is
|
|
added/deleted on an advertising interface,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
adds/deletes the corresponding prefix to/from its advertising list,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
If you do not want to enable this feature, you should specify the
|
|
.Ic Fl s
|
|
command line option when advocation.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command first appeared in WIDE Hydrangea IPv6 protocol stack kit.
|
|
.Sh CAVEAT
|
|
Do not perform router advertisement toward upstream direction,
|
|
you should only advertise to downstream direction.
|
|
If you advertise toward upstream by mistake,
|
|
you will see icmp6 redirect storm on that subnet.
|
|
This is because of the specification,
|
|
which says that advertising router is assumed to become
|
|
the default outgoing router for end hosts in the subnet.
