# ripquery(8)

send a RIP request to a remote host

## NAME

**ripquery** – send a RIP request to a remote host

## SYNOPSIS

**ripquery** \[**-n**\] host

## DESCRIPTION

The **ripquery** command can be used to send a RIP request to a remote host. If the remote host runs a RIP server it will reply to the RIP request and sends its current routing table entries. **ripquery** will then print these entries. The option **-n** can be used to suppress the IP number to name conversion.
