ip6rtrd.conf(4)
NAME
  ip6rtrd.conf - IPv6 router daemon (ip6rtrd) configuration file

DESCRIPTION
  The ip6rtrd.conf file contains configuration information that is read by
  the ip6rtrd daemon at initialization time.  This file contains statements
  that control information sent in router advertisements and RIPng messages.

  The ip6rtrd.conf file consists of structured information for each interface
  in the following format:

       interface interface-name {
	  # interface keyword-value pairs, one per line
	  Prefix prefix/length {
	      # prefix keyword-value pairs, one per line
	  }
       }

  Comments begin with the number sign (#) and continue to the end of the
  line.

  The following table lists the keywords and range of accepted values.	See
  RFC 2461 for complete descriptions of the keywords.
  ____________________________________________________________________
  Keyword		  Values			       Default
  ____________________________________________________________________
  AdvSendAdvertisements	  yes/no			       yes
  MaxRtrAdvInterval	  4 - 1800 seconds		       600
  MinRtrAdvInterval	  3 - (0.75 * MaxRtrAdvInterval)       200
  AdvManagedFlag	  0/1				       0
  AdvOtherConfigFlag	  0/1				       0
  AdvLinkMTU		  non-negative integer		       0
  AdvReachableTime	  0 - 3,600,000 milliseconds	       0
  AdvRetransTimer	  non-negative integer		       0
  AdvDefaultLifetime	  0 or MaxRtrAdvInterval - 9000 secs   1800
  ____________________________________________________________________

  In addition, the following interface keywords are accepted:

  AdvCurHopLimit
	    Specifies the value to be placed in the Cur Hop Limit field in
	    the Router Advertisement messages sent by the router.  The value
	    zero means unspecified (by this router).  Valid values are any
	    non-negative integer.  The default is 0.

  AdvSendLinkLayerAddress
	    Sends the interface link-layer address option in outgoing router
	    advertisements. Valid values are yes and no. The default is yes.

  AdvSendSiteLocal
	    Sends site local prefexes in outgoing router advertisements.
	    Valid values are yes and no.  The default is no.

  ripng	    Enables (yes) or disables (no) participation in RIPng on the
	    interface.	If enabled, RIPng updates are sent on the interface,
	    and received RIPng updates are processed as defined in RFC 2080.
	    You cannot specify yes for automatic tunnels (the tun0
	    interface).	 The default is yes (except for tun0).

  SplitHorizon
	    Enables (1) or disables (0) the Split Horizon algorithm as
	    specified in RFC 2080. The default is 1.

  PoisonReverse
	    Enables (1) or disables (0) the Poisoned Reverse algorithm as
	    specified in RFC 2080.  The default is 1.

  Address Prefix Information

  Each address prefix to be configured on the interface must be defined
  within a prefix block that begins with the keyword Prefix followed by the
  prefix and length (separated by a slash (/)) and optionally followed by an
  additional address prefix information block of keyword-value pairs.

  The following table lists address prefix keywords and values that are
  described in RFC 2461:
  ________________________________________________
  Prefix Keyword	 Values	   Default
  ________________________________________________
  AdvValidLifetime	 integer   2592000 seconds
  AdvPreferredLifetime	 integer   604800 seconds
  AdvOnLinkFlag		 0/1	   1
  AdvAutonomousFlag	 0/1	   1
  ________________________________________________

  The following table lists address prefix keywords and values that are
  described in RFC 2080:
  _____________________________________________
  Prefix Keyword   Values		Default
  _____________________________________________
  RouteMetric	   1 - 16 (inclusive)	1
  RouteTag	   integer		0
  _____________________________________________

  In addition, you can specify the following address prefix keywords:

  ConfigureThisPrefix
	    The ip6rtrd will configure the advertised prefix on the interface
	    if ConfigureThisPrefix is specified and set to 1, or if
	    ConfigureThisPrefix is not specified and AdvAutonomousFlag is set
	    to 1.

	    The prefix is not auto-configured in all other cases.  Valid
	    values are 0 and 1. The default value is the value of
	    AdvAutonomousFlag.
