IPXRIPD(8)

NAME
ipxripd - IPX network routing daemon

SYNOPSIS
ipxripd [ [-d] logfilename ]

DESCRIPTION
Ipxripd uses IPX Routing Information Protocol (RIP) to gather and propagate routing information over IPX internetwork. Based on this information it keeps the IPX kernel routing table up to date. In other words, ipxripd does the same work for IPX as routed(8) does for IP. In conjuction with ipxsapd(8) and IPX kernel support ipxripd allows Linux to act as IPX internetwork router. Before ipxripd is started IPX network numbers must be bound to the interface(s) using ipxbind(8).

OPTIONS
-d
    Turn on debug output. It means that all incoming or outgoing RIP packets are dumped to the log file.
logfilename
    Specifies the name of the log file where changes made to the IPX kernel routing table and optional debug output are logged. If the name of the log file is missing, no log file is generated.

SIGNALS
The following signals are handled by ipxripd. SIGINT
    Dumps current routing database to the log file.
SIGTERM,SIGHUP
    Shutdowns RIP agent (flushes the IPX kernel routing table and sends network is down broadcasts) and exits.

VERSION
This man page is correct for version 0.9 of ipxripd. The implementation of RIP is conforming to the IPX Router Specification v1.10 (available via ftp ftp.novell.com).

BUGS
Ipxripd reads IPX interface configuration information only at startup. Therefore ipxripd must be stopped before any IPX interface configuration change is done and restarted after it.
