NAME
       ripquery - query RIP gateways

SYNOPSIS
       authkey] dest[time] gateway ...

DESCRIPTION
       is  used	 to request all routes known by a RIP gateway by sending a RIP
       request or POLL command. The routing information in any routing packets
       returned	 is displayed numerically and symbolically.  is intended to be
       used as a tool for debugging gateways, not for network management. SNMP
       is the preferred protocol for network management.

       by  default  uses the RIP POLL command, which is an undocumented exten‐
       sion to the RIP specification supported by on SunOS 3.x and  later  and
       by  1.4	and  later.   The  RIP	POLL command is preferred over the RIP
       REQUEST command because it is not subject to Split Horizon and/or  Poi‐
       soned Reverse. See the RIP RFC for more information.

   Options
       Send the query as a version 1 packet.

       Send the query as a version 2 packet (default).

       Specifies the authentication password to use for queries. If
		      specified,  an  authentication  type  of	SIMPLE will be
		      used, if is specified, an	 authentication	 type  of  MD5
		      will be used; otherwise the default is an authentication
		      type of NONE. Authentication fields in incoming  packets
		      will be displayed, but not validated.

       Prevents the address of the responding host from being looked up
		      to determine the symbolic name.

       Specifies that the query should be for the specified
		      instead  of complete routing table. The specification of
		      the optional mask implies a version 2 query.  Up	to  23
		      requests	about  specific destinations may be include in
		      one packet.

       Uses the RIP POLL command to request information from the routing
		      table. This is  the  default,  but  is  an  undocumented
		      extension	 supported  only  by some versions of unOS 3.x
		      and later versions of If there is no response to the RIP
		      POLL   command,	the  RIP  REQUEST  command  is	tried.
		      responds to a POLL command with all the  routes  learned
		      via RIP.

       Used the RIP REQUEST command to request information from the
		      gateway's	 routing  table.  Unlike the RIP POLL command,
		      all gateways should support the RIP REQUEST. If there is
		      no  response  to	the  RIP REQUEST command, the RIP POLL
		      command is tried.	 responds to a	REQUEST	 command  with
		      all the routes he announces out the specified interface.
		      Due to limitations in  the  UDP  interface,  on  systems
		      based on BSD 4.3 Reno or earlier, REQUESTs respond about
		      the interface used to route packets back to the  sender.
		      This  can	 be  avoided  by  running  on  the  host being
		      queried.

       Version information about
		      is displayed before querying the gateways.

       Specifies the time in seconds to wait for the initial response
		      from a gateway. The default value is 5 seconds.

       subnet.
