restrict Specifies that these routes must not be installed in the routing table. These routes are
not exported to other protocols.
By default, the routing daemons import routes to the
ramd daemon. The ramd daemon installs the best
route in the kernel routing table.
Export Configuration Statement
The export configuration statement controls the routes that
ramd advertises to other protocols. The main
difference between export and import is that route import is controlled by source information, while route
exportation is controlled by both source and destination.
The syntax of the
export configuration statement is:
export (direct|static|ripng|
bgp|all|none)
to (daemon-name|all|none)
[metric metricvalue ]
[route-filter-name (allow|
restrict)];
The protocols specified before the keyword
to are the source protocols (direct, static, ripng, bgp,
all, and none).
The protocols specified after the keyword
to are the destination protocols (daemon-name , all, and
none), where daemon-name can be ripngd, bgpd or isisd.
Source Protocols
direct Exports direct routes to the destination protocol.
static Exports static routes to the destination protocol.
ripng Exports RIPng routes to the destination protocol.
bgp Exports BGP routes to the destination protocol.
all Export direct, static, RIPng and BGP routes to the destination protocol.
none Exports no routes to the destination protocol.
Destination Protocols
daemon-name Exports routes from the source protocols to daemon-name .
all Exports routes from the source protocols to all daemons.
none Exports no routes from the source protocol.
metric Indicates the metric value to be used for exporting these routes to the destination.
route-filter-name Indicates the route filter associated with this export policy.
allow Exports only these routes to the destination protocol.
restrict Specifies that ramd doe not export these routes to the destination protocol.
RIPNG SECTION OF THE CONFIGURATION FILE
This section describes the RIPng statements in the RAMD configuration file.
RIPng Protocal Overview
The RIPng routing protocol is a distance vector protocol. It runs over the UDP layer. The key features of
the RIPng protocol are as follows:
• RIPng routers sharing a common data link become neighbors for route exchange.
• RIPng routers exchange IPv6 reachability information in the RIPng route updates with neighbors.
• RIPng routers send the best route to RAMD to update the kernel routing table.
• RIPng routers run as a daemon process. RIPng protocol section of the RAMD configuration file,
/etc/ramd.conf, can be used to configure the RIPng daemon.
rdc is a Command Line Interface (CLI) utility that controls the operations of the RIPng daemon. The
CLI utility, ram_monitor, can be used to monitor the RIPng information.
