NAME

radvd − router advertisement daemon for IPv6

SYNOPSIS

radvd [ −vh ] [ −d debuglevel ] [ −C configfile ] [ −p pidfile ] [ −m method ] [ −l logfile ] [ −f facility ] [ −t chrootdir ] [ −u username ]

DESCRIPTION

radvd is the router advertisement daemon for IPv6. It listens to router solicitations and sends router advertisements as described in "Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6 (IPv6)" (RFC 2461). With these advertisements hosts can automatically configure their addresses and some other parameters. They also can choose a default router based on these advertisements.

OPTIONS

For every one character option there is also a long option, which is listed right next to the "short" option name:
−v
, −−version

Displays the version of radvd and then aborts.

−h, −−help

Displays a short usage description and then aborts.

−d debuglevel, −−debug debuglevel

With this option you turn on debugging information. The debugging level is an integer in the range from 1 to 4, from quiet to very verbose. A debugging level of 0 completely turns off debugging. If a debugging level greater than 0 is used, radvd doesn’t background itself on start. The default debugging level is 0.

−C configfile, −−config configfile

Specifies an alternate config file. Normally the compiled in default /etc/radvd.conf is used.

−p pidfile, −−pidfile pidfile

Specifies an alternate pidfile. Normally the compiled in default /var/run/radvd/radvd.pid is used.

−m method, −−method method

Specifies the logging method to use. Possibly values are:

none

Completely disables any logging.

logfile

Logs to the logfile which is specified by the −l option. If no logfile is specified on the command line, then a compiled in default is used (see next option).

stderr

Logs to standard error.

syslog

Logs to syslog (default method).

−l logfile, −−logfile logfile

Specifies the logfile to use when using the logging method logfile. The default logfile is /var/log/radvd.log.

−f facility, −−facility facility

Specifies the facility (as an integer) when using syslog logging. Default is LOG_DAEMON.

−t chrootdir, −−chrootdir chrootdir

If specified, switches to chrootdir before doing anything else. This directory and its subdirectories must have been populated first. For security reasons, −u must always be used when using chrootdir.

Note that this option will not currently work under Linux because radvd requires access to the /proc filesystem.

−u username, −−username username

If specified, drops root privileges and changes user ID to username and group ID to the primary group of username. This is recommended for security reasons. You might also need to use −p to point to a file in a username -writable directory (e.g. /var/run/radvd/radvd.pid).

FILES

/usr/sbin/radvd
/etc/radvd.conf
/var/run/radvd/radvd.pid
/var/log/radvd.log
