OSPF6CTL(8) - System Manager’s Manual
NAME #
ospf6ctl - control the OSPF for IPv6 routing daemon
SYNOPSIS #
ospf6ctl [-s socket] command [argument …]
DESCRIPTION #
The ospf6ctl program controls the ospf6d(8) daemon.
The following options are available:
-s socket
Use socket instead of the default /var/run/ospf6d.sock to communicate with ospfd(8).
Commands may be abbreviated to the minimum unambiguous prefix; for example, s s for show summary.
The following commands are available:
fib couple
Insert the learned routes into the Forwarding Information Base (FIB), a.k.a. the kernel routing table.
fib decouple
Remove the learned routes from the FIB. Decoupling the FIB from an OSPF router may create routing loops and could cause major routing issues in the complete OSPF cloud. Only routers with just one link to the OSPF cloud can safely decouple the FIB.
fib reload
Refetches and relearns the routes in the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the kernel routing table.
log brief
Disable verbose debug logging.
log verbose
Enable verbose debug logging.
reload
Reload the configuration file. This command currently has no effect.
show database [filter]

area ID

connected
Show only connected routes.
interface [interface]
Show only interfaces or the specified interface.
ospf
Show only OSPF routes.
static
