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.
