rrenumd.conf -- configuration file for router renumbering daemon
The rrenumd config file describes how the router renumbering packet must
be constructed and to which destinations it should be sent. This file
consists of a sequence of statements terminated by a semi-colon (`;').
Statements are composed of tokens separated by white space, which can be
any combination of blanks, tabs and newlines. This structure simplifies
identification of the parts of the configuration associated with each
other. Lines beginning with `#' are comments.
Keywords and special characters that the parser expects exactly are displayed
using the bold font. Parameters are specifying with underline.
Parameters shown in square brackets (`[' and `]') are used to show
optional keywords and parameters. The vertical bar (`|') is used to
indicate between a choice of optional parameters. Curly braces (`{' and
`}') are used to group keywords and parameters when necessary.
Interface specification [Toc] [Back] There are some statements that may or have to specify interface. Interfaces
are specified in the form of "name unit", such as lo0 and ep1.
Configuration Statements [Toc] [Back] debug on|off;
Enables configuration file parser debugging. If on is specified,
then debugging is enabled, If off is specified, then debugging is
disabled. It is disabled by default.
dest dest-list [retrycmd];
Specifies destinations to which router renumbering messages
should be sent. dest-list can be any combination of single or
multiple numerical IPv6 addrs, or Full Qualified Domain Names.
retrycmd has following syntax.
retry retry-num
retry-num specifies how many router renumbering messages
are sent repeatedly.
[add|change|setglobal]
match-prefix match-prefix-val [/match-prefix-len]
[maxlen maxlen-val] [minlen minlen-val]
[use-prefix use-prefix-val] [/use-prefix-len]
[keeplen keeplen-val] [use-prefix-values];
Specifies contents of sending router renumbering message with
seqnum 0. If add|change|setglobal is not specified, then add is
assumed. use-prefix-values has following syntax.
{ [vltime vltime-val] [pltime pltime-val] [raf_onlink on|off]
[raf_auto on|off] [rrf_decrprefd on|off] [rrf_decrvalid on|off] }
Each value has following meaning.
match-prefix match-prefix-val [/match-prefix-len]
Specify match-prefix-val that is used for matching with
preassigned prefixes to which add|change|setglobal command
should be applied. /match-prefix-len Specify the
starting part of match-prefix-val to be used for matching
with preassigned prefixes, as decimal bit number.
maxlen maxlen-val
Specify the maximum length of prefixes which is allowed
to be matched to match-prefix-val, as decimal bit number.
minlen minlen-val
Specify the minimum length of prefixes which is allowed
to be matched to match-prefix-val, as decimal bit number.
use-prefix use-prefix-val [/usr-prefix-len]
Specify use-prefix-val that is used for prefixes to be
added on add|change|setglobal command. /use-prefix-len
Specify the starting part of use-prefix-val copied to the
starting part of prefixes to be added on
add|change|setglobal command, as decimal bit number.
keeplen keeplen-val
Specify the medium part of use-prefix-val just next to
the starting part specified by use-prefix-len, as decimal
bit number. Contiguous bits part in the same bit position
of an existent prefix matched with match-prefix-val
is copied to the same bit position of prefixes to be
added.
vltime vmtime-val
Assign an time as prefix valid life time for a prefix to
be added. Valid value for time is decimal seconds number
or special format as "d00h00m00s00", where 00 can take
any decimal number, and "d" means days, "h" means hours,
"m" means minutes, "s" means seconds. And alternatively,
special keyword "infinity" can be also be specified.
pltime pltime-val
Assign an time as prefix preferred life time for a prefix
to be added. Valid value for time is same as for
vltime-val.
raf_onlink on|off
Let the prefix to be added to have on-link or off-link
nature for the assigned interface. If on is specified,
the prefix have on-link nature (e.g. the prefix belong to
the link). If off is specified, the prefix have off-link
nature (e.g. the prefix does not belong to the link).
raf_auto on|off
Enable or disable the autonomous address auto configuration
for the prefix to be added. If on is specified,
autonomous address auto configuration is enabled. If off
is specified, it is disabled.
rrf_decrprefd on|off
Enable or disable the decrementation of the pltime. If
on is specified, decrementation of the pltime is enabled.
If off is specified, decrementation of the pltime is disabled.
rrf_decrvalid on|off
Enable or disable the decrementation of the vltime. If
on is specified, decrementation of the vltime is enabled.
If off is specified, decrementation of the vltime is disabled.
seqnum seqnum-val { rrenum-cmd };
Specifies contents of sending router renumbering message with
some specific seqnum. Multiple of this statement can be specified
if they have different seqnum-val each other. rrenum-cmd
has just same syntax with above add|change|setglobal statement.
For each configuration file example shown below, we suppose every IPv6
subnet has its own prefix beginning with fec0:0:0::/48 and with its own
subnet number (in this case, subnet number is 7th and 8th octet value of
the prefix).
If you want to assign prefixes beginning with 3ffe:501:ffff::/48 to each
subnet, then following configuration will be enough, if each of your
routers supports IPv6 multicast forwarding. The subnet number of the
existing fec0:0:0::/48 prefix and the newly assigned 3ffe:501:ffff::/48
prefix will be same.
dest ff05::2;
add match-prefix fec0:0:0:: /48 use-prefix 3ffe:501:ffff:: /48 keeplen 16;
If your routers don't support IPv6 multicast forwarding, you'll need to
specify each destination at dest command.
dest fec0:0:0:1:260:8ff:fe24:fb3a fec0:0:0:2:200:eff:fe2e:dfe1 fec0:0:0:3:5254:ff:fedc:5217;
add match-prefix fec0:0:0:: /48 use-prefix 3ffe:501:ffff:: /48 keeplen 16;
If you are going to do renumbering, then following procedure will be natural.
1. Assign a new prefix.
2. Set old prefix lifetimes to some appropriate transition
period. In the following example we use 1 week for valid
lifetime, and 0 for preferred lifetime. Also, enable old prefix
lifetime expiration (By default, it is static and does not
expire).
3. After the transition period, old prefixes should become
invalid, and may have been deleted. To make sure that they
are deleted, send new router renumbering message, which specifies
old prefixes as match prefix, and no use prefix.
The following configuration file will do 1 and 2.
dest ff05::2;
seqnum 0 {
add match-prefix fec0:0:0:: /48 use-prefix 3ffe:501:fffe:: /48 keeplen 16;
};
seqnum 1 {
change match-prefix 3ffe:501:ffff:: /48 use-prefix 3ffe:501:ffff:: /48 keeplen 16 vltime d7 pltime 0 rrf_decrvalid on rrf_decrprefd on;
};
And the following configuration file will do 3 (should be used for the
router renumbering message to be sent 1 week afterward).
dest ff05::2;
change match-prefix 3ffe:501:ffff:: /48;
In the above example, only add and change commands are used, and there is
no example for setglobal command. setglobal command is almost same with
change command except that it deletes all pre-defined IPv6 global
address.
prefix(8), rrenumd(8)
The rrenumd.conf configuration file was first appeared in KAME IPv6 protocol
stack kit.
