IRRd-Discuss

[Vinay Kumar]

Hi ,

to load the db i did the following. I copied the db file in a cache dir.
Then i ran the irrd daemon from the command line with the option

/usr/local/sbin/irrd -d /opt/irrdatabase -v

and then i ran this command

telnet 127.0.0.1 irrd
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
IRRd version 2.0.0 Alpha [08/22/2000]

I also tried what yu mentioned in your mail. That is i copied the db
file into /var/tmp. Then ran the irrd. 

telnet 127.0.0.1 43

Dec  5 14:31:44 [7] IRRD thread IRR 127.0.0.1 exit
