Description
rtquery
is used to query a RIP network routing daemon,
routed(1Mtcp)
or
gated(1Mtcp),
for its routing table by sending a
request or poll command.
The routing information in any routing
response packets returned is displayed numerically and symbolically.
By default, rtquery uses the request command.
When the -p option is specified, rtquery
uses the poll command, an
extension to the RIP protocol supported by
gated(1Mtcp).
When querying gated, the
poll command is preferred to the request
command. This is because the response to the poll command
is not subject to Split Horizon and/or Poisoned Reverse,
and because some versions of gated do not answer
the request command. routed does not answer the poll command, but
it recognizes requests coming from rtquery and so answers completely.
rtquery can also be used to turn tracing on or off in
routed.
rtquery understands the following options:
-n-
Display only the numeric network and host numbers.
Normally, network and host numbers are displayed both symbolically
and numerically.
-p-
Use the poll command to request full routing information from
gated(1Mtcp),
This is an extension to the RIP protocol supported by gated.
-1-
Query using RIP version 1 instead of RIP version 2.
-w timeout-
Change the delay for an answer from each host.
By default, each host is given 15 seconds to respond.
-r addr-
Ask about the route to destination addr.
-a passwd=secret-
-a md5_passwd=secret-
-a md5_passwd=KeyID-
Send the query with the indicated cleartext or MD5 password.
-t op-
Change the tracing level of
routed(1Mtcp)
according to the specified operation, op.
Requests from processes which are not running with UID 0 or
which are on distant networks
are generally ignored by the daemon
except for a message in the system log.
gated(1Mtcp)
ignores these debugging requests.
op is one of the following operations:
on=tracefile-
Turn on tracing to the specified trace file. The file must
have been specified when the daemon was started or it must
have the same name as an existing file.
more-
Increase the debugging level.
off-
Turn off tracing.
dump-
Dump the daemon's routing table to the current trace file.
