rtquery(1M) System Administration Commands rtquery(1M)NAMErtquery - query routing daemons for their routing tables
SYNOPSISrtquery [-np1] [-w timeout] [-r addr] [-a secret] host...
rtquery [-t operation] host...
DESCRIPTION
The rtquery command is used to query a RIP network routing daemon,
in.routed(1M) or GateD, 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 undocumented extension to
the RIP protocol supported by GateD. When querying GateD, the poll com‐
mand is preferred over the request command because the response is not
subject to Split Horizon and/or Poisoned Reverse, and because some ver‐
sions of GateD do not answer the request command. in.routed does not
answer the poll command, but recognizes requests coming from rtquery
and so answers completely.
The rtquery command is also used to turn tracing on or off in
in.routed.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a passwd=XXX Causes the query to be sent with the indicated
-a md5_passwd=XXX|KeyID cleartext or MD5 password.
-n Displays only the numeric network and host
addresses instead of both numeric and symbolic
names.
-p Uses the poll command to request full routing
information from GateD. This is an undocu‐
mented extension RIP protocol supported only by
GateD.
-r addr Asks about the route to destination addr.
-t operation Changes tracing, where operation is one of the
actions listed below. Requests from processes
not running with UID 0 or on distant networks
are generally ignored by the daemon except for
a message in the system log. GateD is likely to
ignore these debugging requests.
on=tracefile
Turns tracing on, directing tracing into
the specified file. That file must have
been specified when the daemon was started
or have the name, /var/log/in.routed.trace.
more
Increases the debugging level.
off
Turns off tracing.
dump
Dumps the daemon's routing table to the
current trace file.
-w timeout Changes the delay for an answer from each host.
By default, each host is given 15 seconds to
respond.
-1 Queries using RIP version 1 instead of RIP ver‐
sion 2.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
