SYNOPSIS
xorp_rtrmgr [-a allowed host] [-l file] [-L syslog facility] [-n allowed net] [-b|-c file] [-i

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xorp_rtrmgr command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a
manual page.
xorp_rtrmgr is the program that that manages the whole eXtensible Open Router Platform (XORP) platform.
The program loads its configuration file (commonly named config.boot) which will read from the current
working directory You can specify a different filename for the configuration file using the -b
command line flag. The -N "no execute" flag will cause xorp_rtrmgr to startup and pretend the router is
operating normally, but to not actually start any processes. This can be used to check configuration
files.
Typically xorp_rtrmgr must be run as root. This is because it starts up processes that need privileged
access to insert routes into the forwarding path in the kernel.
To interact with the router via the command line interface, the operator should use the XORP command
shell xorpsh.
