# NAME

`rtsold`, `rtsol` — router solicitation daemon

# DESCRIPTION

`rtsold` and `rtsol` have been removed from NetBSD as their functionality is now included in dhcpcd(8).

For example to send a router solicitation message and print information about the response without changing the actual routing table:

`dhcpcd -dB6T --nodhcp6 <interface>`

To quietly send a router solicitation message:

`dhcpcd -q6T --nodhcp6 <interface>`

The ifconfig.if(5) network interface configuration files and variables can also use an “rtsol” keyword to invoke dhcpcd(8) to send a router solicitation message, without running it as daemon.
