NAME¶
bcrelay - a broadcast relay daemon
SYNOPSIS¶
bcrelay [
OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION¶
bcrelay simply plays as a broadcast repeater. When
bcrelay
receives packets from the incomming interface, it will then relay them to the
outgoing interface.
OPTIONS¶
- -d,--daemon
- Run bcrelay as a daemon.
- -h,--help
- Show help message.
- -i,--incoming interface-in
- Defines from which interface broadcasts will be read.
- -s,--outgoing interface-out
- Defines to which interface broadcasts will be relayed.
- -n,--nolog
- Disable any logging and tracing to /var/log/messages except fatal error
messages.
- -s,--ipsec argument
- Defines an ipsec tunnel to be relayed to. Since ipsec tunnels terminate on
the same interface, we need to define the broadcast address of the other
end-point of the tunnel. This is done as ipsec0:x.x.x.255.
- -v,--version
- Show the version of bcrelay.
- Log messages and debugging information go to syslog as daemon.
- Interfaces can be specified as regexpressions, ie. ppp[0-9]+.
