Queries the RIP gateways.
| -1 |
Send the query as a version 1 packet. |
| -2 |
Send the query as a version 2 packet (default). |
| -[a5] authkey |
Specifies the authentication password to use for queries. If
-a is specified, an authentication type of SIMPLE will
be used, if -5 is specified, an authentication type
of MD5 will be used, otherwise the default is an authentication
type of NONE. Authentication fields in incoming packets will be
displayed, but not validated. |
| -n |
Prevents the address of the responding host from being looked up
to determine the symbolic name. |
| -N dest[/mask] |
Specifies that the query should be for the specified dest/mask
instead of complete routing table. The specification of the
optional mask implies a version 2 query. Up to 23 requests about
specific destinations may be included in one packet. |
| -p |
Uses the RIP POLL command to request information from the routing
table. This is the default. If there is no response to the RIP POLL
command, the RIP REQUEST command is tried. gated
responds to a POLL command with all the routes learned via RIP. |
| -r |
Uses the RIP REQUEST command to request information from the
gateway's routing table. Unlike the RIP POLL command, all
gateways should support the RIP REQUEST. If there is no response
to the RIP REQUEST command, the RIP POLL command is
tried. gated responds to a REQUEST command with all the
routes he anounces out the specified interface. |
| -v |
Version information about ripquery is displayed
before querying the gateways. |
| -w time |
Specifies the time in seconds to wait for the initial response
from a gateway. The default value is 5 seconds. |
