IPCAD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual IPCAD(8)

ipcad
IP accounting daemon with Cisco-like ip accounting export

ipcad [-h] [-c config] [-d] [-r] [-s]

IPCAD stands for IP Cisco Accounting Daemon. It runs in background and listens traffic on the specified interfaces. Collected statistics can be obtained via the same method used to gather ip accounting from Cisco routers.

The options are as follows:
Print the help page
config
Specify configuration file
Work in background
Import saved accounting table on startup
Save the active accounting table on exit

Once started, ipcad listens for rsh requests and/or exports NetFlow. In case of rsh, data can be requested from ipcad by issuing a following:

rsh localhost command

Commands may be freely abbreviated.

help Show available commands

show ip accounting Show current accounting table
show ip accounting checkpoint Show checkpointed accounting table

clear ip accounting Move accounting to checkpoint base
clear ip accounting checkpoint Clear checkpoint base

show interface <ifname> Show interface status and counters

stat Show overall interface status and statistics

dump [<pathname>] Dump current accounting table
restore [<pathname>] Restore current table
import [<pathname>] Import (add) entries from specified file

shutdown Shutdown ipcad

Run ipcad as daemon, import saved state tables on startup and save them on exit:

ipcad -rds

Save statistics: the following commands will save statistics for further processing. No data loss will occur in this case.

rsh localhost cle ip acco
rsh localhost sh ip acco checkpoint > file_to_parse

Please refer to ipcad.conf(5) manual page for NetFlow configuration options.

ipcad.conf(5).
