By default, route polling is disabled.
interval poll-interval
;
Specifies how often the kernel routing table is scanned for modifications. The default poll interval is
30 seconds.
By default, route polling is disabled.
remnantholdtime
timer-value ;
Specifies the duration, in minutes, for which
ramd retains the remnant routes (routes retrieved
from the kernel upon
ramd startup) in its routing table. On remnant hold timeout,
ramd deletes all
IPv6 routes except Static, Direct and Mobile IPv6 routes. By default, remnant hold time is 3
minutes. The time interval can be in the range of 0-15 minutes.
noflushatexit;
Specifies that ramd does not delete the routes from the kernel when it exits. By default,
ramd
deletes the routes from the kernel when it exits.
traceoptions trace-options
;
Specifies the events to be traced. The specified option should be separated by commas, without any
spaces between them. The valid trace options are:
iflist Traces the list of interfaces retrieved from the kernel interface table.
request Traces the route add and delete request by ramd to modify the kernel routing table.
policy Traces the application of route filters and martian routes.
function Traces the functions and their arguments.
timer Traces the timer events.
nostamp Traces the events without time stamp information.
all Traces iflist, request, policy, function, and
timer information.
no No tracing is done.
By default, no tracing is done.
traceoptions [filename [replace][size file-size [k|m] files
numb-of-files][except trace-
options]
;
filename Specifies the name of the trace file.
replace Replaces an existing trace file and the tracing starts at the beginning of the trace
file. By default, trace information is appended to the existing trace file.
size file-size Specifies the maximum size of the trace file. The minimum size remains 10k. The
default trace file size remains 10k.
k|m Represents the size of the file in Kilobyte or Megabyte.
files numb-of-files
Specifies the maximum files. When the trace file reaches the specified size, the
files are renamed as filename.0, filename.1, filename .2, up to the value
specified in the option. The minimum value for files remain 2.
except trace-options
Traces all options, except the options that you specify in this statement.
This
traceoptions configuration statement can be used in the ripngd, bgpd and isisd
configuration section.
Preference
The preference value is an arbitrarily assigned value used to determine the order of routes to the same
destination in a single routing database. Preference is the value that
ramd uses to order the preference
of routes from one protocol or peer to another. The preference value can be set in the RAMD
configuration file in different configuration statements. It can be specified in the interface configuration
statement to prefer one interface over the other. The preference can also be configured for the protocol.
The preference is not used to control the selection of routes within an Interior Gateway Protocol. This is
accomplished automatically by the protocol based on the metric value. Each route has only one prefer-
ence value associated with it, even though the preferences can be set at many places in the configuration
