NAME
advert - Transmit an ICMP Router Advertisement on an interfaceSYNOPSIS
solicit - Transmit an ICMP Router Solicitation on an interface
advert ifn [period]DESCRIPTION
solicit ifn
Command advert advertises NAT32's IP address as a router on a specified interface. Argument ifn is the interface over which the transmission is to occur. If a Host Group entry for the all hosts group exists for that interface, the advertisement is multicast to that group over the specified interface, otherwise it is broadcast on that network. Argument period is the time (in minutes) between transmissions. The default period is 0.NOTESCommand solicit requests a Router Advertisement from any router on the specified interface. Argument ifn is the interface over which the transmission is to occur. If a Host Group entry for the all routers group exists for that interface, the solicitation is multicast to that group on the specified interface, otherwise it is broadcast on that network.
ICMP Router Discovery is described in RFC 1256. Advertisements are sent to the network broadcast address on the specified interface, or to the all hosts multicast group on the specified interface. The advertised Lifetime is 30 minutes, the advertised Preference Level is 999. That value results in Windows 98/NT/2000 hosts adding a default route with a Metric of 1 to the Windows Routing Table.SEE ALSORouter Solicitations are sent to the network broadcast address on the specified interface, or to the all routers multicast group on the specified interface. NAT32 currently only prints a Console message if a Router Advertisement is received. Future builds may add a default route to the NAT32 Routing table.
