ripquery - query RIP gateways SYNOPSIS
authkey] dest[time] gateway ... DESCRIPTION
is used to request all routes known by a RIP gateway by sending a RIP request or POLL command. The routing information in any routing pack- ets returned is displayed numerically and symbolically. is intended to be used as a tool for debugging gateways, not for network manage- ment. SNMP is the preferred protocol for network management. by default uses the RIP POLL command, which is an undocumented extension to the RIP specification supported by on SunOS 3.x and later and by 1.4 and later. The RIP POLL command is preferred over the RIP REQUEST command because it is not subject to Split Horizon and/or Poi- soned Reverse. See the RIP RFC for more information. Options Send the query as a version 1 packet. Send the query as a version 2 packet (default). Specifies the authentication password to use for queries. If specified, an authentication type of SIMPLE will be used, if is specified, an authentication type of MD5 will be used; oth- erwise the default is an authentication type of NONE. Authentication fields in incoming packets will be displayed, but not validated. Prevents the address of the responding host from being looked up to determine the symbolic name. Specifies that the query should be for the specified instead of complete routing table. The specification of the optional mask implies a version 2 query. Up to 23 requests about specific destinations may be include in one packet. Uses the RIP POLL command to request information from the routing table. This is the default, but is an undocumented extension supported only by some versions of unOS 3.x and later versions of If there is no response to the RIP POLL command, the RIP REQUEST command is tried. responds to a POLL command with all the routes learned via RIP. Used the RIP REQUEST command to request information from the gateway's routing table. Unlike the RIP POLL command, all gateways should support the RIP REQUEST. If there is no response to the RIP REQUEST command, the RIP POLL command is tried. responds to a REQUEST command with all the routes he announces out the specified interface. Due to limitations in the UDP interface, on systems based on BSD 4.3 Reno or earlier, REQUESTs respond about the interface used to route packets back to the sender. This can be avoided by running on the host being queried. Version information about is displayed before querying the gateways. Specifies the time in seconds to wait for the initial response from a gateway. The default value is 5 seconds. AUTHORS

rtquery - query routing daemons for their routing tables SYNOPSIS
rtquery [-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 command is preferred over the request command because the response is not subject to Split Horizon and/or Poisoned Reverse, and because some versions 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 cleartext or MD5 password. -a md5_passwd=XXX|KeyID -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 undocumented extension RIP pro- tocol 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 version 2. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. ATTRIBUTES
