NAME

       ndppd.conf - configuration file for ndppd

DESCRIPTION

       The syntax is as follows:

       proxy eth0 {
          rule 1234:5678::/96 {
          }
       }

       The  configuration  file  must contain one or more proxy sections, and each of these section must contain
       one or more rule sections.

       The ndppd daemon listens on the interface specified as an argument to the proxy section. Once a  Neighbor
       Solicitation  message  arrives,  it will try to match the target address against the address specified as
       the argument of the rule section.

OPTIONS

       proxy <interface>
              Adds a proxy and binds it to the specified interface.   See  below  for  information  about  proxy
              options.

PROXY OPTIONS

       rule <address>
              Adds a rule with the specified address to the proxy. It may be a an IP such as 1234::1 or a subnet
              such as 1111::/96. See below for information about rule options.

       ttl <value>
              Controls  how  long  ndppd  will cache an entry. This is in milliseconds, and the default value is
              30000 (30 seconds).

       timeout <value>
              Controls how long ndppd will wait for a Neighbor Advertisement message after forwarding a Neighbor
              Solicitation message according to the rule. This is in milliseconds, and the default value is  500
              (.5 second).

       router <yes|no>
              Controls  if  ndppd  should  send the router bit when sending Neighbor Advertisement messages. The
              default value here is yes.

RULE OPTIONS

       Specify a method here. See below.

METHOD

       One of the following options must be specified in the rule section. All of these are  mutually  exclusive
       options, and cannot be combined.

       iface <interface>
              Specify which interface the Neighbor Solicitation message will be sent out through.

       auto   (NEW)  If this option is specified ndppd will attempt to detect which interface to use in order to
              forward Neighbor Solicitation Messages, by reading the routing table /proc/net/ipv6_route.

       static (NEW) This option tells ndppd that it  should  immediately  respond  to  a  Neighbor  Solicitation
              Message  without  querying  an  internal  interface.  Note that it's recommended that you use this
              option sparingly, and with as high prefix length as  possible.  This  is  to  make  sure  upstream
              routers are not polluted with spurious neighbor entries.

              If  no  rule  option  has been specified, it will default to static in order to be compatible with
              0.2.1.  This will, however, produce a warning, and most likely not  work  in  future  versions  of
              ndppd.
