NAME

npd6 - neighbor proxy daemon ipv6

SYNOPSIS

npd6 [ -hvcdDf] [ -c configfile ] [ -l logfile ]

DESCRIPTION

npd6 is a daemon which listens on nominated interfaces for IPv6 Neighbor Solicitations which match defined prefixes. It will answer them with an appropriate Neighbor Advertisement.

npd6 is configured using a config file (default /etc/npd6.conf) and also has a number of cli options to enable various levels of logging, debug, etc.

Please read the man page for the config file for much more information.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

Displays short usage summary and then exits.

-v, --version

-c configfile, --config configfile

Alternate config file. Default is /etc/npd6.conf See npd6.conf(5).

-d, --debug

Enable debug logging - moderate.

-D, --debug2

-f, --foreground

Run npd6 in the foreground, staying attached to the terminal. Default is that it daemonizes otherwise. Typically used for debugging, etc.
