NAME

6       bcrelay - a broadcast relay daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bcrelay [OPTION]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       bcrelay  simply  plays  as  a broadcast repeater. When bcrelay receives
13       packets from the incomming interface, it will then relay  them  to  the
14       outgoing interface.
15

OPTIONS

17       -d,--daemon
18              Run bcrelay as a daemon.
19
20       -h,--help
21              Show help message.
22
23       -i,--incoming interface-in
24              Defines from which interface broadcasts will be read.
25
26       -s,--outgoing interface-out
27              Defines to which interface broadcasts will be relayed.
28
29       -n,--nolog
30              Disable  any  logging  and  tracing  to /var/log/messages except
31              fatal error messages.
32
33       -s,--ipsec argument
34              Defines an ipsec tunnel to be relayed to.  Since  ipsec  tunnels
35              terminate on the same interface, we need to define the broadcast
36              address of the other end-point of the tunnel. This  is  done  as
37              ipsec0:x.x.x.255.
38
39       -v,--version
40              Show the version of bcrelay.
41
42       Log messages and debugging information go to syslog as daemon.
43
44       Interfaces can be specified as regexpressions, ie. ppp[0-9]+.
