rtmpqry - Man Page

rtmpqry [-a | -r] [ -A local_address ] [remote_address]

rtmpqry is used to query and display the routing information that an AppleTalk router is advertising using the RTMP protocol. By default, it queries the local atalkd instance.

-a

Query all routes, do not suppress those that would be dropped by split- horizon processing. Generally (and if this option is omitted), routers do not advertise routes where, if you sent it a packet, it would send that packet straight back out the same interface to another router, as this would be pointless. However, for visibility into the structure of the internetwork, it is sometimes useful to see all the routes.

-r

Request just the RTMP network metadata, not any routes.

-A

Bind to the local AppleTalk address given.

Get network range and seed router for the current network:

example$ rtmpqry -r 0.255
Router: 9.239
Network(s): 3 - 10
example$

Get all routes from the router at 12.1:

example$ rtmpqry -a 12.1
3 - 10 distance 0 via 12.1
11 distance 0 via 12.1
12 distance 0 via 12.1

example$

atalk_aton(3), atalkd(8), getzones(1)
