Overview
This manual page documents briefly the ramond command.
ramond is a daemon program monitoring IPv6 router advertisement packets. When an advert is reveived, a configurable action occurs.
ramond was designed to “clear” (by sending spoofed zero lifetime adverts) rogue routes sent by users running 6to4 gateways on a campus network. Actions are scriptable. Almost all the available information is passed to a script via environmental variables (see the ENVIRONMENT section for details).
Options
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, without long options. A summary of options is included below.
-
-c configfile -
Sets the path to the
ramondconfiguration file. Default is /etc/ramond.conf
-
-d -

-h -
