NAME

       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.

BUGS

       Some versions of Unix do not allow looking up the symbolic name of a subnet.

NAME

       ripquery - Queries RIP gateways

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/ripquery [-1] [-2] [-[a5] authkey] [-n]
	  [-p] [-r] [-v] [-w time] gateway ...

FLAGS

       Sends  the query as a version 1 packet.	Sends the query as a version 2 packet (default).  Specifies the authentication password to use for
       queries.  If -a specified, an authentication type of SIMPLE will be used, if -5 is specified, an authentication type of MD5 will  be  used,
       otherwise  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.  Uses the  RIP	POLL  command  to  request
       information  from  the  routing	table.	 This is the default.  If there is no response to the RIP POLL command, the RIP REQUEST command is
       tried.  The gated daemon responds to a POLL command with all the routes learned through 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.  The gated daemon responds to a REQUEST command with all the routes	he
       announces  out the specified interface.	Because of 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 ripquery on the host  being  queried.
       Displays  version  information about ripquery before querying the gateways.  Specifies the time in seconds to wait for the initial response
       from a gateway.	The default value is 5 seconds.

DESCRIPTION

       The ripquery command is used to request all routes known by a RIP gateway by sending a RIP request or POLL command.  The  routing  informa-
       tion  in any routing packets returned is displayed numerically and symbolically.  The ripquery command is intended to be used as a tool for
       debugging gateways, not for network management.	SNMP is the preferred protocol for network management.

       The ripquery command by default uses the RIP POLL command, which is an undocumented extension to the RIP specification supported by  routed
       on  SunOS  3.x and later and by gated 1.4 and later.  The RIP POLL command is preferred over the RIP REQUEST command because it is not sub-
       ject to Split Horizon or Poisoned Reverse.  See the RIP RFC for more information.
