NAME
rtradvd.conf - configuration file for router advertisement daemon
DESCRIPTION
This file describes the information used by rtradvd (1M) when constructing IPv6 router advertisement
packets for a specific interface as specified by RFC 2461 ("Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6"). This file
is read by
rtradvd at initialization time or upon reception of signal
SIGHUP.
rtradvd configuration consists of two general statements (
defaults, interface) and one substate-
ment (
prefixinfo) that is used only by the
interface statement. All statements and substatements
must end with a semicolon. Statements are composed of keywords separated by white space, which can
be any combination of blanks and tabs.
The user may create an entry for each interface that is to be enabled for Router Advertisements. Any
configuration information not specified in the individual
interface or prefixinfo entry is inherited
from the
defaults statement. In absence of a
defaults statement or specific keywords, the values of
options are set according to their default values as defined in RFC-2461.
The
defaults statement can be used to define global values for both
interface and prefixinfo
keywords. The defaults statement is defined as:
defaults {
# list of interface specific keyword-value pairs;
# list of prefixinfo specific keyword-value pairs;
};
The
interface statement is defined as:
interface interface-name {
# list of interface specific keyword-value pairs;
prefixinfo prefix/prefixlen {
# list of prefixinfo specific keyword-value pairs;
};
};
The
prefixinfo specifies the "prefix" and "prefix length" to be advertised on that interface.
The
interface and prefixinfo specific keywords (if specified) have a precedence over the keywords
defined in the defaults statement.
NOTE: Comments begin with the pound character (#) and continue to the end of the line.
INTERFACE SPECIFIC OPTIONS
The following basic keywords and values are defined in RFC 2461:
AdvSendAdvertisement on
|off
Enables (on) or disables (off) sending of periodic Router Advertisements and responding to Router
Solicitations.
DEFAULT: off
MaxRtrAdvInterval integer
Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, between sending unsolicited multicast Router Advertise-
ments from the interface. Valid values are between 4 and 1800 seconds, inclusive. When using
Mobile IPv6 extension, the minimum valid value allowed drops to 0.07.
DEFAULT: 600
MinRtrAdvInterval integer
Specifies the minimum time, in seconds, between sending unsolicited multicast Router Advertise-
ments from the interface. Valid values are between 3 seconds and .75 * MaxRtrAdvInterval
inclusive. The default is 200 seconds. When using Mobile IPv6 extension, the minimum valid value
allowed drops to 0.03.
DEFAULT: 0.33 *
MaxRtrAdvInterval
AdvManagedFlag on|off
Enables (on) or disables (off) the setting of the "Managed Address Configuration" flag in Router
Advertisements.
