babel-pinger - set up a default route if a host is reachable
babel-pinger
[ -p protocol-number ] [ -P server-protocol ] [ -t timeout ] -i interface host...
Babel-pinger determines whether a given host or set of hosts
are reachable through a given interface and, if so, sets up a default route
through the loopback interface. This route can then be exported into a
suitable routing protocol such as Babel.
- -p protocol-number
- Specify
the protocol number of the installed route. The default is 43.
- -P server-protocol
- The protocol used by the remote host. This can be one of echo, dns or ntp.
The default is echo.
- -t timeout
- The time interval, in seconds, at which queries
will be sent. The default is 120s.
- -i interface
- The interface over which
the remote hosts will be pinged.
Friends don’t let friends use babel-pinger.
They set up a proper routing protocol instead.
