NAME

       ramd - Route Administration Manager Daemon (RAMD) for IPv6

SYNOPSIS

       config_file] trace_options] [trace_file]

DESCRIPTION

       is  a  routing daemon that manages routing for IPv6.  handles RIPng, BGP, and IS-IS routing protocols.  and are referred to as routing dae-
       mons.

       can be configured using the configuration file Upon startup, reads the configuration file and spawns the routing daemons, if it is  config-
       ured.  However, the command-line option trace_file is applicable only to

       maintains  a routing table in user space and synchronizes it with the HP-UX kernel routing table.  periodically checks the kernel interface
       table and the route table for any updates or changes.  It notifies the corresponding daemons about the updates.

   Options
       supports the following command-line options:

       Parses the configuration file for syntax errors and terminates exits with a status 0 if the configuration file contains no errors.  If  the
       configuration file contains errors, exits with a non-zero value.  prints the configuration file errors, if any, to the standard output.

       Specifies that
	      runs as a normal process and not as a daemon process.

       Parses the configuration file for syntax errors and terminates
	      It leaves a dump file, if the configuration file does not have any syntax errors.

       Specifies an alternate configuration file to be used by
	      By default, uses

       Specifies that
	      does not modify the kernel forwarding table.

       Suppresses the
	      messages	of and routing daemons.  Using this option, can suppress the informational messages that are normally printed to the stan-
	      dard output, and log error messages through syslogd(1M).	By default, errors are logged in

       Specifies a comma-separated list of trace options to
	      be enabled during startup.  A space cannot be entered between this option and its arguments.

	      This option can be used to trace events that occur before the configuration file is parsed, such as determining the  interface  con-
	      figuration and reading routes from the kernel.

	      See the ramd.conf(4) manpage for information on tracing and valid trace options.

	      The trace options, cannot be specified with the command-line option.

       trace_file
	      Specifies the name of the file used by the daemon to log tracing information.

   Signal Processing
       The following signals are used to control

       Specifies    to	reread	the configuration file.  reads the configuration file and reconfigures its policies.  also checks if it must start
		    and stop the protocol daemons.

       Specifies that the current state of
		    is written to

       Graceful shutdown.
		    On receipt of attempts a graceful shutdown.

		    removes all protocol routes from the HP-UX 11i v1 kernel routing table on receiving Interface routes and static routes  remain
		    with the retain option.  can be used to terminate with all the routes intact.  It may be necessary to repeat the once or twice
		    if delays its termination.

       Toggle tracing.
		    If tracing is enabled, suspends tracing and closes the trace file. If tracing is disabled, opens the trace file and  initiates
		    tracing.  This is useful for moving trace files.

		    signal cannot be used, if does not enable tracing in the configuration file.

       Checks for interface changes.
		    On receipt of rescans the kernel interface list for changes.

EXAMPLES

       To use an alternate configuration file for instead of the default configuration file, invoke as follows:

       To log tracing related information to the trace options and invoke as follows :

       logs the trace information that is related to the configuration file and the kernel interface table, in the log file
