NAME

       ramond - IPv6 Router Advertisement MONitor Daemon

SYNOPSIS

       ramond [ -c configfile ] [ -d ]

       ramond -h

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the ramond command.

       ramond  is  a daemon program monitoring IPv6 router advertisement packets.  When an advert is reveived, a
       configurable action occurs.

       ramond was designed to “clear” (by sending spoofed zero lifetime adverts)  rogue  routes  sent  by  users
       running 6to4 gateways on a campus network.  Actions are scriptable.  Almost all the available information
       is passed to a script via environmental variables (see the ENVIRONMENT section for details).

OPTIONS

       The  program  follows  the  usual GNU command line syntax, without long options.  A summary of options is
       included below.

       -c configfile
              Sets the path to the ramond configuration file.  Default is /etc/ramond.conf

       -d     Do not daemonize.

       -h     Show summary of options.

FILES
