ndpd-host(1Mtcp)
ndpd-host --
manage NDP on a host
Synopsis
ndpd-host [-dtv]
Description
The ndpd-host daemon manages aspects of the
Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) that are not
under the control of the kernel:
router discovery, prefix discovery, parameter discovery and redirects.
ndpd-host deals with the default route, including default router,
default interface and default interface address.
ndpd-host understands the following options:
-d-
(Debug) Display exceptional conditions and dump.
-t-
Timestamp logged messages.
-v-
Log all interesting events (via the daemon.info action in
syslog and the console).
Interfaces
ndpd-host understands IEEE, PPP,
and CTI point-to-point interfaces.
ndpd-host exchanges packets on all known active (up)
interfaces which have a link-local address. It can also detect when
an interface's status changes.
If an interface goes down or loses its link-local address,
ndpd-host stops NDP processing on the interface.
If an interface comes up, ndpd-host starts NDP
processing for it.
IEEE interfaces are configured using the
autoconf6(1Mtcp)
command.
PPP interfaces are configured using the pppd daemon
which is controlled using the
ppptalk(1M)
command.
Token negotiation defines the link-local addresses.
In order to send Router Advertisements
over a CTI-configured tunnel,
it must have local and distant link-local addresses.
NOTE:
For all active (up) point-to-point interfaces, ndpd-host
configures a local route via lo0 for local addresses.
Signals
The operation of ndpd-host may be modified by sending it
one of the following signals:
SIGINT-
Dump the current state of ndpd-host to syslog
or stdout.
SIGTERM-
Make ndpd-host clean up and exit.
SIGUSR1-
Turn on verbose mode.
SIGUSR2-
Turn off verbose mode.
