The routed daemon performs several functions automatically and can be configured to perform several additional functions.
The
routed
daemon performs the
following functions by default:
- Deletes redirected routes after a specified
period
- Router discovery with IRDP (useful only if
there is no static default route)
- Listens for RIP packets
- Migrates routes to alternate interfaces when
multiple interfaces are available on the same subnet
The routed
daemon can also be configured to perform the following functions:
- Control RIP and IRDP behavior
- Generate RIP response messages that update a
host route on your storage system
- Recognize distant gateways identified in the
/etc/gateways file
For more information about the
routed
daemon, see the na_routed(1) man page.
