NAME
     ipcad -- IP accounting daemon with Cisco-like ip accounting export

SYNOPSIS
     ipcad [-h] [-c config] [-d] [-r] [-s]

DESCRIPTION
     IPCAD stands for IP Cisco Accounting Daemon. It runs in background and lis-
     tens  traffic  on the specified interfaces. Collected statistics can be ob-
     tained via the same method used to gather ip accounting from Cisco routers.

OPTIONS
     The options are as follows:

     -h 	 Print the help page

     -c config	 Specify configuration file

     -d 	 Work in background

     -r 	 Import saved accounting table on startup

     -s 	 Save the active accounting table on exit

RSH COMMANDS
     Once started, ipcad listens for rsh requests and/or  exports  NetFlow.   In
     case of rsh, data can be requested from ipcad by issuing a following:

     rsh localhost command

     Commands may be freely abbreviated.

   Recognized commands are:
     help				Show available commands

     show ip accounting 		Show current accounting table
     show ip accounting checkpoint	Show checkpointed accounting table

     clear ip accounting		Move accounting to checkpoint base
     clear ip accounting checkpoint	Clear checkpoint base

     show interface <ifname>		Show interface status and counters

     stat				Show   overall	 interface   status  and
					statistics

     dump [<pathname>]			Dump current accounting table
     restore [<pathname>]		Restore current table
     import [<pathname>]		Import (add) entries from specified file

     shutdown				Shutdown ipcad

EXAMPLE
     Run ipcad as daemon, import saved state tables on startup and save them  on
     exit:

	   ipcad -rds

     Save  statistics:	the  following commands will save statistics for further
     processing. No data loss will occur in this case.

	   rsh localhost cle ip acco
	   rsh localhost sh ip acco checkpoint > file_to_parse

     Please refer to ipcad.conf(5) manual page	for  NetFlow  configuration  op-
     tions.
