.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Rtsol
|
|
sends router solicitation packet to the specified
|
|
.Ar interface .
|
|
If there is any router on the network, the router may respond by
|
|
router advertisement packet.
|
|
Router advertisement packet contains information about the network,
|
|
the link-local address of the router, and so forth.
|
|
The kernel will install the new routing information and address prefix
|
|
for the
|
|
.Ar interface ,
|
|
according to the information.
|
|

|
.Nm
|
|
implements some quickhack code for notebook computers.
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
disables the behavior
|
|
.Pq the flag stands for no tricks .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will generate more messages.
|
|
This is mostly for debugging.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Router advertisement packet will be processed only if the
|
|
node is configured as a host, not a router.
|
|
To accept router advertisement packet,
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables must be set as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset
|
|
# sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=0
|
|
# sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Typically this is done in system startup scripts, such as
|
|
.Xr rc 8 .
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The program exits with 0 on success, non-zero on failures.
