RTQUERY(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RTQUERY(8) NAME rtquery -- query routing daemons for their routing tables SYNOPSIS rtquery [-np1] [-w timeout] [-r addr] [-a secret] host ... rtquery [-t op] host ... DESCRIPTION The rtquery utility is used to query a RIP network routing daemon, such as routed(8), for its routing table by sending a request or poll command. The routing information in any routing response packets returned is dis- played numerically and symbolically. The rtquery utility by default uses the request command. When the -p op- tion is specified, rtquery uses the poll command, an undocumented exten- sion to the RIP protocol supported by the commercial gated routing prod- uct. When querying gated, the poll command is preferred over the request command because the response is not subject to Split Horizon and/or Poi- soned Reverse, and because some versions of gated do not answer the request command. Routed(8) does not answer the poll command, but recog- nizes requests coming from rtquery and so answers completely. The rtquery utility is also used to turn tracing on or off in routed(8). The following options are available: -n displays only the numeric network and host numbers instead of both numeric and symbolic. -p uses the poll command to request full routing information from gated. This is an undocumented extension RIP protocol supported only by gated. -1 queries using RIP version 1 instead of RIP version 2. -w timeout changes the delay for an answer from each host. By default, each host is given 15 seconds to respond. -r addr asks about the route to destination addr. -a passwd=XXX -a md5_passwd=XXX|KeyID causes the query to be sent with the indicated cleartext or MD5 password. -t op changes tracing, where op is one of the following. Requests from processes not running with UID 0 or on distant networks are gen- erally ignored by the daemon except for a message in the system log. gated is likely to ignore these debugging requests. on=tracefile turns tracing on into the specified file. That file must usually have been specified when the daemon was started or be the same as a fixed name, often /etc/routed.trace. more increases the debugging level. off turns off tracing. dump dumps the daemon's routing table to the current trace- file.
