NAME <\/a> <\/h2>\n

rtmon \u2212 listens to and monitors RTnetlink<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

rtmon<\/b> [ options ] file FILE [ all | LISTofOBJECTS ]<\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

This manual page documents briefly the rtmon<\/b> command.<\/p>\n

rtmon<\/b> listens on netlink<\/i> socket and monitors routing table changes.<\/p>\n

rtmon<\/i> can be started before the first network configuration command is issued. For example if you insert:<\/p>\n

rtmon file \/var\/log\/rtmon.log<\/b><\/p>\n

in a startup script, you will be able to view the full history later. Certainly, it is possible to start rtmon at any time. It prepends the history with the state snapshot dumped at the moment of starting.<\/p>\n

OPTIONS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

rtmon supports the following options:<\/i>
\u2212Version<\/b><\/p>\n

Print version and exit.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

help<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Show summary of options.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

file FILE [ all | LISTofOBJECTS ]<\/b><\/p>\n

Log output to FILE. LISTofOBJECTS is the list of object types that we want to monitor. It may contain \u2019link\u2019, \u2019address\u2019, \u2019route\u2019 and \u2019all\u2019. \u2019link\u2019 specifies the network device, \u2019address\u2019 the protocol (IP or IPv6) address on a device, \u2019route\u2019 the routing table entry and \u2019all\u2019 does what the name says.<\/p>\n

\u2212family [ inet | inet6 | link | help ]<\/b><\/p>\n

Specify protocol family. \u2019inet\u2019 is IPv4, \u2019inet6\u2019 is IPv6, \u2019link\u2019 means that no networking protocol is involved and \u2019help\u2019 prints usage information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

\u22124<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Use IPv4. Shortcut for -family inet.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

\u22126<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Use IPv6. Shortcut for -family inet6.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

\u22120<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Use a special family identifier meaning that no networking protocol is involved. Shortcut for -family link.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

USAGE EXAMPLES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

# rtmon file \/var\/log\/rtmon.log<\/b><\/p>\n

Log to file \/var\/log\/rtmon.log, then run:<\/p>\n

# ip monitor file \/var\/log\/rtmon.log<\/b><\/p>\n

to display logged output from file.<\/p>\n
