.Sh NAME
.Nm rad
.Nd router advertisement daemon
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl dnv
.Op Fl f Ar file
.Op Fl s Ar socket
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is an IPv6 router advertisement daemon.
It periodically sends IPv6 router advertisement messages with prefix
and default router information.
Clients like
.Xr slaacd 8
use these to configure IPv6 addresses on network interfaces and set default
routes.
Additionally it listens for IPv6 router solicitation messages and responds
with router advertisements.
.Pp
To have
.Nm
enabled at boot time, use
.Dq rcctl enable rad ,
which sets
.Pp
.Dl rad_flags=\(dq\(dq
.Pp
in
.Xr rc.conf.local 8 .
.Pp
A running
.Nm
can be controlled with the
.Xr ractl 8
utility.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl d
Do not daemonize.
If this option is specified,
.Nm
will run in the foreground and log to
.Em stderr .
.It Fl f Ar file
Specify an alternative configuration file.
.It Fl n
Configtest mode.
Only check the configuration file for validity.
.It Fl s Ar socket
Use an alternate location for the default control socket.
.It Fl v
Produce more verbose output.
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width "/var/run/rad.sockXX" -compact
.It Pa /etc/rad.conf
Default
.Nm
configuration file.
.It Pa /var/run/rad.sock
.Ux Ns -domain
socket used for communication with
