.TH NDPPD\&.CONF 5 "9/18/2011" "NDP Proxy Daemon Manual" "NDP Proxy Daemon Manual"
.SH NAME
ndppd.conf \- configuration file for ndppd
.SH DESCRIPTION
The syntax is as follows:
.PP
.EX
proxy eth0 {
rule 1234:5678::/96 {
}
}
.EE
.PP
The configuration file must contain one or more
.B proxy
sections, and each of these section must contain one or more
.B rule
sections.
.PP
The
.B ndppd
daemon listens on the interface specified as an argument to the
.B proxy
section. Once a
.B Neighbor Solicitation
message arrives, it will try to match the target address against
the address specified as the argument of the
.B rule
section.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "proxy <interface>"
Adds a proxy and binds it to the specified
.IR interface .
See below for information about
.BR "proxy options" .
.SH PROXY OPTIONS
.IP "rule <address>"
Adds a rule with the specified
.I address
to the proxy. It may be a an IP such as 1234::1 or a subnet such
as 1111::/96. See below for information about
.BR "rule options" .
.IP "ttl <value>"
Controls how long
.B ndppd
will cache an entry. This is in milliseconds, and the default value
is 30000 (30 seconds).
.IP "timeout <value>"
Controls how long
.B ndppd
will wait for a Neighbor Advertisement message after forwarding
a Neighbor Solicitation message according to the rule. This is
in milliseconds, and the default value is 500 (.5 second).
.IP "router <yes|no>"
Controls if
.B ndppd
should send the
.I router
bit when sending Neighbor Advertisement messages. The default
value here is
.B yes.
.SH RULE OPTIONS
.IP "iface <interface>"
Specify which
.I interface
the Neighbor Solicitation message will be sent out through.
If this option is not specified,
.B ndppd
will immediately answer with a Neighbor Advertisement message
if the rule matches, without querying an interface. It's recommended
that you set this value to avoid sending responses for IPs that does
not exist.
