6 bcrelay - a broadcast relay daemon
7
9 bcrelay [OPTION]...
10
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
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]+.
