NAME
rtgconfig - Configures ISO/OSI routing parameters
SYNOPSIS
rtgconfig [argument value] [argument value] ...
FLAGS
-ct seconds
Sets the ES-IS configuration timer value (in seconds) for the
network. This is the amount of time that can elapse before IP
sends another hello packet. The value of this parameter should be
set to a progressively larger value for progressively larger
networks to reduce network congestion caused by ES-IS traffic. If
you do not include this argument, its value defaults to 20 seconds.
-rt seconds
Sets the redirect timer (in seconds). This value sets the amount
of time since a remote system sent its last hello packet that its
entry is maintained in the IP routing table. If you do not
include this argument, its value defaults to 45 seconds. The
value should always be set to at least twice the value of the
configuration timer.
-notify flag
Specifies whether or not the local system responds immediately to a
new system coming on-line. If flag is set to a non-zero value,
immediate notification is enabled; if set to zero, notification is
disabled. In large networks, this notification may be disabled so
that systems are not overwhelmed by notification packets as soon as
they come online. If you do not include this argument, its value
defaults to 1 (enabled).
-esgaddr SNPA_address
Sets the end system multicast SNPA address recognized and used by
this system. A packet sent to this address is received by all
intermediate systems on the network. The SNPA address consists of
7 bytes. The first six bytes identify the MAC address; the seventh
specifies the LSAP address (always FE). Only hexadecimal digits
are accepted. Do not enter spaces or other punctuation.
If you do not include this argument in the command line, it
defaults to the correct value for a standard OSI network. This
default need not normally change. If your network does not use the
standard value, check the value set in the MAC driver to make sure
it correlates with this one.
-isgaddr SNPA_address
Sets the intermediate system multicast SNPA address recognized and

used by this system. A packet sent to this address is received by
all end systems on the network.
If you do not include this argument in the command line, it
defaults to the correct value for a standard OSI network. This
default need not normally change. If your network does not use the
standard value, check the value set in the MAC driver to make sure
it correlates with this one.
-help Lists the parameters that can be set with this utility.
DESCRIPTION
The rtgconfig command sets configuration parameters for end system-
intermediate system (ES-IS) routing exchange protocol.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to start the rtgconfig command, and
subsequent text illustrates the command output:
$ rtgconfig -ct 40 -rt 60
ES-IS Configuration timer value (seconds): 40
ES-IS Redirect timer value (seconds): 60
ES-IS Configuration Notify enable: 1
NOTES
If no arguments are specified, this utility displays the current value of
the configuration timer, redirect timer, and notify enable flag.
DIAGNOSTICS
could not open device
Cause: the TP4/IP driver has not been installed.
Action: reinstall OSI/LAN software in the kernel.
rtgconfig: unknown parameter 'p'
Cause: you specified an argument on the command line that
was not recognized.
Action: check the list of arguments , and reenter the
command line.
rtgconfig: invalid SNPA-address length n
Cause: the SNPA address contained the wrong number of
characters.

rtgconfig(8) CLIX rtgconfig(8)
Action: check the SNPA address and reenter the corrected
command line. The address must contain either 12
characters (6 bytes) or 14 characters (7 bytes).
rtgconfig: invalid hexadecimal character
c in address
Cause: a character that was not a valid hexadecimal digit
was specified in either the NSAP or SNPA address.
Action: check the NSAP or SNPA address, and reenter the
command line. These addresses must contain only the
characters 0 - 9 and a - f (or A - F).
