System Administration Commands rtquery(1M)
NAME
rtquery - query routing daemons for their routing tables
SYNOPSIS
rtquery [-np1] [-w timeout] [-r addr] [-a secret] host...
rtquery [-t operation] host...
DESCRIPTION
The rtquery command is used to query a RIP network routing
daemon, in.routed(1M) or GateD, for its routing table by
sending a request or poll command. The routing information
in any routing response packets returned is displayed numer-
ically and symbolically.
By default, rtquery uses the request command. When the -p
option is specified, rtquery uses the poll command, an undo-
cumented extension to the RIP protocol supported by GateD.
When querying GateD, the poll command is preferred over the
request command because the response is not subject to Split
Horizon and/or Poisoned Reverse, and because some versions
of GateD do not answer the request command. in.routed does
not answer the poll command, but recognizes requests coming
from rtquery and so answers completely.
The rtquery command is also used to turn tracing on or off
in in.routed.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a passwd=X Causes the query to be sent with
-a md5passwd=XKeyID the indicated cleartext or MD5
password.
-n Displays only the numeric network
and host addresses instead of
both numeric and symbolic names.
-p Uses the poll command to request
full routing information from
GateD. This is an undocumented
extension RIP protocol supported
only by GateD.

-r addr Asks about the route to destina-
tion addr.
-t operation Changes tracing, where operation
is one of the actions listed
below. Requests from processes
not running with UID 0 or on dis-
tant networks are generally
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,
directing tracing
into the speci-
fied file. That
file must have
been specified
when the daemon
was started or
have the name,
/var/log/in.routed.trace.
more Increases the
debugging level.
off Turns off trac-
ing.
dump Dumps the
daemon's routing
table to the
current trace
file.
-w timeout Changes the delay for an answer
from each host. By default, each
host is given 15 seconds to
respond.
-1 Queries using RIP version 1
instead of RIP version 2.
