NAME
ramond.conf - Configuration file for ramond(8) DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the ramond.conf configuration file. ramond.conf is an XML file containing the rules for Router Advertisement processing by ramond(8). The rules are processed in the order they are defined in the file. SYNTAX
One may refer to the DTD given in /usr/share/doc/ramond/examples/ramond.conf.dtd. The root element, <ramond>, contains one optional attribute, logfile, giving the path to the logfile for the daemon. This element may contain one or more <mac-list>s, and one or more <rule>s. The <mac-list> must have a name attribute, and contains one or more <entry>elements. The <rule> may contain a few attributes : prefix An IPv6 prefix used for matching RA packets mac A <mac-list> name used for matching source MAC addresses of the RA packets lifetime This attribute, when having a "0" value, is used for matching routes that are being cleared interface The interface which the RA packet came from The <rule> may contain : o one or more <execute> elements containing the path of the scripts to run when a packet is matched o a <clear/> element, so that the matched route will be cleared by ramond(8) o or no element, indicating an "ignore" rule. ENVIRONMENT
The environment variables the configured scripts are run with are listed in the ramond(8) manpage. EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILE
