npd6 − neighbor proxy daemon ipv6
npd6 [ −hvcdDf] [ −c configfile ] [ −l logfile ]
npd6 is a daemon which listens on nominated interfaces for IPv6 Neighbor Solicitations which match defined prefixes. It will answer them with an appropriate Neighbor Advertisement.
npd6 is configured using a config file (default /etc/npd6.conf) and also has a number of cli options to enable various levels of logging, debug, etc.
Please read the man page for the config file for much more information.
-h, --help
Displays short usage summary and then exits.
-v, --version
Displays the version of npd6 and then exits.
-c configfile, --config configfile
Alternate config file. Default is /etc/npd6.conf See npd6.conf(5).
-d, --debug
Enable debug logging - moderate.
-D, --debug2

-f, --foreground
Run npd6 in the foreground, staying attached to the terminal. Default is that it daemonizes otherwise. Typically used for debugging, etc.
