IPRoute2 Compile the package: make DESTDIR= SBINDIR=/sbin DESTDIR= This ensures that the IPRoute2 binaries will install into the correct directory. By default, DESTDIR is set to /usr. SBINDIR=/sbin This ensures that the IPRoute2 binaries will install into /sbin. This is the correct location according to the FHS, because some of the IPRoute2 binaries are used by the LFS-Bootscripts package. This package comes with a testsuite, but due to assumptions it makes, it is not possible to reliably run these tests from within the chroot environment. If you wish to run these tests after booting into your new LFS system, ensure you select /proc/config.gz CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC ("General setup" -> "Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz") support into your kernel then run 'make alltests' from the testsuite/ subdirectory. Install the package: make DESTDIR= SBINDIR=/sbin MANDIR=/usr/share/man \ DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/iproute2-&iproute2-version; install The arpd binary links against the Berkeley DB libraries that reside in /usr and uses a database in /var/lib/arpd/arpd.db. Thus, according to the FHS, it must be in /usr/sbin. Move it there: mv -v /sbin/arpd /usr/sbin Installed programs arpd, ctstat (link to lnstat), genl, ifcfg, ifstat, ip, lnstat, nstat, routef, routel, rtacct, rtmon, rtpr, rtstat (link to lnstat), ss, and tc. Short Descriptions arpd Userspace ARP daemon, useful in really large networks, where the kernelspace ARP implementation is insufficient, or when setting up a honeypot arpd ctstat Connection status utility ctstat genl genl ifcfg A shell script wrapper for the ip command. Note that it requires the arping and rdisk programs from the iputils package found at . ifcfg ifstat Shows the interface statistics, including the amount of transmitted and received packets by interface ifstat ip The main executable. It has several different functions: ip link <device> allows users to look at the state of devices and to make changes ip addr allows users to look at addresses and their properties, add new addresses, and delete old ones ip neighbor allows users to look at neighbor bindings and their properties, add new neighbor entries, and delete old ones ip rule allows users to look at the routing policies and change them ip route allows users to look at the routing table and change routing table rules ip tunnel allows users to look at the IP tunnels and their properties, and change them ip maddr allows users to look at the multicast addresses and their properties, and change them ip mroute allows users to set, change, or delete the multicast routing ip monitor allows users to continously monitor the state of devices, addresses and routes ip lnstat Provides Linux network statistics. It is a generalized and more feature-complete replacement for the old rtstat program lnstat nstat Shows network statistics nstat routef A component of ip route. This is for flushing the routing tables routef routel A component of ip route. This is for listing the routing tables routel rtacct Displays the contents of /proc/net/rt_acct rtacct rtmon Route monitoring utility rtmon rtpr Converts the output of ip -o back into a readable form rtpr rtstat Route status utility rtstat ss Similar to the netstat command; shows active connections ss tc Traffic Controlling Executable; this is for Quality Of Service (QOS) and Class Of Service (COS) implementations tc qdisc allows users to setup the queueing discipline tc class allows users to setup classes based on the queuing discipline scheduling tc estimator allows users to estimate the network flow into a network tc filter allows users to setup the QOS/COS packet filtering tc policy allows users to setup the QOS/COS policies tc
