NAME
     olsrd - Optimized Link State Routing protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS
     olsrd  [  -i  interface1 [interface2 ...]	] [ -f	configfile ] [ -d  debu-
     glevel ] [ -ipv6 ] [ -ipc ] [ -dispin ] [ -dispout ] [ -nofork ]  [  -bcast
     broadcastaddress ] [ -delgw ] [ -hint  HELLO interval ] [ -tcint  TC inter-
     val  ]  [ -midint	MID interval ] [ -hnaint  HNA interval ] [ -T  scheduler
     poll rate ] [ -hemu  IP address ]

DESCRIPTION
     olsrd is an implementation of the Optimized Link State Routing protocol for
     Mobile Ad-Hoc networks(MANET). The protocol is described in RFC3626.  It is
     designed to be run as a standalone server process - but as it is  still  in
     an  experimental  stage  most  users will prefer running it with some debug
     output which is directed to STDOUT.

     This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details of  the
     configuration file see the comments included in /etc/olsrd.conf.  Note that
     none  of  these  options need to be set at the command line - all these op-
     tions and others can be set in the configuration file.

     This implementation also features an alternative routing  scheme  based  on
     link  quality using an ETX-like metric developed by the c-base community in
     Berlin. To enable and tweak this mode you must use the configuration file.

     The homepage of olsrd is http://www.olsr.org

OPTIONS
     -i interface1 ... interfaceN
		 This option specifies on what network interfaces  olsrd  should
		 run.  These  interfaces  cannot  be  aliased interfaces such as
		 eth0:1.

     -f configfile
		 This option overrides the default configuration file path  used
		 by olsrd - /etc/olsrd.conf

     -d debuglevel
		 This  option  specifies  the  amount of debug information olsrd
		 should write to STDOUT. If set to 0 olsrd will run in the back-
		 ground.

     -ipv6	 This option instructs olsrd to use the Internet  Protocol  ver-
		 sion 6. The default is version 4.

     -ipc	 This  option allows the GUI front-end created fro olsrd to con-
		 nect to olsrd at runtime.

     -dispin	 This option, when set, causes olsrd  to  display  all	incoming
		 packet data on STDOUT. When using IPv4 the data is displayed in
		 decimal  format, when using IPv6 the data is displayed in hexa-
		 decimal format.

     -dispout	 This option, when set, causes olsrd  to  display  all	outgoing
		 packet data on STDOUT. When using IPv4 the data is displayed in
		 decimal  format, when using IPv6 the data is displayed in hexa-
		 decimal format.

     -nofork	 This option, when set, causes olsrd not to fork and run in  the
		 background  if  started  with	debuglevel  0.	Useful	for init
		 scripts.

     -delgw	 If this option is set olsrd will remove any default routes  set
		 prior to adding an Internet route based on OLSR routing.

     -bcast broadcastaddress
		 This  option  specifies  what	IPv4 broadcastaddress to use for
		 OLSR control traffic. The only value that currently makes sense
		 when setting broadcast address  mannually  is	255.255.255.255.
		 The  default action is to use the broadcastaddres that the net-
		 work interface is preconfigured with(per interface).

     -hint seconds
		 This value sets the interval on which HELLO messages should  be
		 generated.  The  value  is a floating point number representing
		 seconds.

     -tcint seconds
		 This value sets the interval on which	TC  messages  should  be
		 generated.  The  value  is a floating point number representing
		 seconds.

     -midint seconds
		 This value sets the interval on which MID  messages  should  be
		 generated.  The  value  is a floating point number representing
		 seconds.

     -hnaint seconds
		 This value sets the interval on which HNA  messages  should  be
		 generated.  The  value  is a floating point number representing
		 seconds.

     -T seconds  This option sets the polling intervall of  the  scheduler.  The
		 default  is  0.1 seconds. This option should only be considered
		 if running with really low emission intervals.

     -hemu IP address
		 Use this option to connect to the olsr_switch	network  simula-
		 tion  application.  Here IP address will be the IP address that
		 the process will set as its main address in the emulation mode.
		 This address has no connection to the real IP-stack and can  be
		 chosen freely.
