Conﬁguring gated

Troubleshooting gated

Chapter 3 103

gdc determines the state of gated and produces a reliable exit status

during errors, which is useful in shell scripts that manipulate gated. The

syslogd facility is used to log all the commands and error messages

generated during gdc operation. gated uses these log messages to

provide an audit trail of operations performed on the daemon.

For more information, type man 1M gated at the HP-UX prompt.

The gated Routing Table

Sending gated a SIGINT signal causes gated to write information about

interface conﬁgurations, task information, and routing tables to the

/var/tmp/gated_dump ﬁle.

The ripquery Tool

You can use the /usr/sbin/ripquery support tool to query gated for

RIP routing information. ripquery sends two types of commands: a POLL

command and a RIP request command. gated responds to a POLL

command by listing all routes learned from RIP that are in its routing

table. This does not include the interface routes for the local network or

routes from other protocols that are announced through RIP. When

gated receives a RIP request command on a interface, it announces

routes via RIP on that interface. This includes routes from other

protocols that are imported by gated on the node.

You can use ripquery with the -p option to query other non-gated RIP

routers. With this option, ripquery initially sends POLL commands and

then, if there is no response, sends RIP request commands. The default

query (POLL commands) sent by ripquery may not be supported by all

RIP routers. For more information, type man 1M ripquery at the HP-UX

prompt.

The ospf_monitor Tool

You can use the /usr/sbin/ospf_monitor support tool to query OSPF

routers for information on OSPF routing tables, interfaces, and

neighbors, as well as data on AS external databases, link-state

databases, error logs, and input/output statistics. Running the

ospf_monitor command displays a prompt that allows you to enter

interactive commands. For details on using this tool, type man 1M

ospf_monitor at the HP-UX prompt.
