This describes a simple example that gives you an overlook of ricd. A sample configuration is available at src/programs/ricd/ricd.conf. You need to modify it to suit your network. Areas on each nodes must be consistent with others. Run ricd on each nodes and telnet to their interactive interface (called UII). In the session, basic MRT commands like "show config" and "config" are available in addition to ricd specific commands described in Configuration. tokyo# ./ricd -v -f ./ricd.conf >/tmp/ricd.log & tokyo# telnet localhost 5674 MRT version 2.1.1 Alpha [12/1/99] No Access Verification tokyo MRTd# show config # link-qos 100m 0 7000 1000 3 link-qos 10m 0 700 10000 4 # req-qos pcm 3 128 100 30 0 1 0 0 ... tokyo MRTd# show ip hqlip neighbor Neighbor Address If Time UP KeepAlive Sent/Rcvd 198.108.60.107 ed0 00:02:58 1 12/17 65/55 (connected) 198.108.60.162 ed0 00:02:58 0 0/0 0/0 (self) 192.168.10.162 de0 00:02:57 0 0/0 0/0 (self) 192.168.10.103 de0 00:00:21 1 16/17 35/25 (connected) 127.0.0.1 lo0 00:02:48 0 0/0 0/0 (self) tokyo MRTd# show ip srsvp neighbor Neighbor Address If Time UP R/H Sent/Rcvd 198.108.60.107 ed0 00:04:30 1 R 0/0 (connected) 198.108.60.162 ed0 00:04:16 0 R 0/0 (self) 192.168.10.162 de0 00:04:15 0 R 0/0 (self) 192.168.10.103 de0 00:01:39 1 R 0/0 (connected) 127.0.0.1 lo0 00:04:36 0 R 0/0 (self) tokyo MRTd# show ip hqlip areas ...
