OSPFCLIENT(8)

📦 version 1.2.4, in alpine 3.22, alpine 3.23, alpine 3.24

💖 NAME 💖

ospfclient — an example ospf-api client, bestie. The page you're reading is the OSPFCLIENT(8) manual, and it's literally the lil intro for this example client. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ospfclient ospfd lsatype opaquetype opaqueid ifaddr areaid

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ospfclient is an example ospf-api client to test the ospfd daemon. That's the whole assignment, no cap: example API client, daemon-testing energy. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • ospfd — a router where the API-enabled OSPF daemon is running. That's your target, bestie. 🎯
  • lsatype — the value has to be either "9", "10", or "11", depending on the flooding scope. Pick one, no improv. 💅
  • opaquetype — has to be in the range 0-255 (for example, experimental applications use an opaquetype larger than 128). Stay in that lane, okay? 🌈
  • opaqueid — arbitrary application instance (24 bits). Cute and specific. 🎀
  • ifaddr — interface IP address for type 9; otherwise it gets ignored. So it's the type 9 lane, periodt. 🦋
  • areaid — area in the IP address format for type 10; otherwise it gets ignored. So it's the type 10 lane, iykyk. 💜

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋
