HP (Hewlett-Packard) HP-UX 11i v2 Manuale Utente

Configuring gated

gdc

 determines the state of

gated

 and produces a reliable exit status

during errors, which is useful in shell scripts that manipulate

gated

. The

syslogd

facility is used to log all the commands and error messages

generated during

gdc

 operation.

gated

 uses these log messages to

provide an audit trail of operations performed on the daemon.

For more information, type

man 1M gated

 at the HP-UX prompt.

Sending

gated

 a

SIGINT

 signal causes

gated

 to write information about

interface configurations, task information, and routing tables to the

/var/tmp/gated_dump

 file.

You can use the

/usr/sbin/ripquery

 support tool to query

gated

 for

RIP routing information.

ripquery

sends two types of commands: a

POLL

command and a RIP

request

 command.

gated

 responds to a

POLL

command by listing all routes learned from RIP that are in its routing
table. This does not include the interface routes for the local network or
routes from other protocols that are announced through RIP. When

gated

 receives a RIP

request

 command on a interface, it announces

routes via RIP on that interface. This includes routes from other
protocols that are imported by

gated

 on the node.

You can use

ripquery

with the

-p

 option to query other non-

gated

 RIP

routers. With this option,

ripquery

 initially sends

POLL

 commands and

then, if there is no response, sends RIP request commands. The default
query (

POLL

 commands) sent by

ripquery

 may not be supported by all

RIP routers. For more information, type

man 1M ripquery

at the HP-UX

prompt.

You can use the

/usr/sbin/ospf_monitor

 support tool to query OSPF

routers for information on OSPF routing tables, interfaces, and
neighbors, as well as data on AS external databases, link-state
databases, error logs, and input/output statistics. Running the

ospf_monitor

 command displays a prompt that allows you to enter

interactive commands. For details on using this tool, type man

1M

ospf_monitor

 at the HP-UX prompt.
